Greeting to my fellow posters. . Well, I am a student. I am facing problem of concentration for past 1 year. I cannot able to concentrate on my studies even for 10 minutes continuously. Consequently my educational performance is degrading day by day. Anyone can give me some meditations/exercises, which can help me to let me concentrate for few minutes at least. Thanks in advance. Waiting for your help ..........

Re: Need advice!!!!!

Ladylore is right... there's not enough information in your post. Are you taking any medications? Abusing alcohol or street drugs? Do you have an anxiety disorder or other mental health issue that might create a problem with concentration?

No I have never taken drugs nor alcohol .I have moderate anxiety not too much, but the problem deals with concentration. Thanks.........

Re: Need advice!!!!!

But it's more complex than that. Problems with concentration can have different causes, including ADHD, anxiety, fatigue, boredom, brain injury, headaches, visual or auditory problems, learning disabilities, etc., etc.

Do you difficulty focusing on everything? or just school work? Are there some classes in school that you don't have difficulty with? What about activities (games, movies, TV, music) that you really enjoy? Is concentration a problem there?

Well, I have concentration lags in every activities in life. I have better concentration in younger days but day by day it is decreasing.

punpun,

Have you spoken to your doctor about this, or do you have access to a physician who could refer you for evaluation?

Well I consulted a noted doctor in the relevant fields there. He gave me some sleeping tranquilizers, which in no way make something useful for me.

punpun,

What was the doctor's diagnosis that resulted in the prescription? Which medication specifically did your doctor prescribe?

That name is unfamiliar. Would you verify the spelling directly from the bottle or provide the generic name?

The illness of depression can impede one's ability to concentrate and focus on tasks, in addition to making one lose interest in performing otherwise enjoyable tasks.

Do you have a follow up appointment with your doctor where you can report on your progress? Are you seeing a mental health specialist at this time?
