Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing through HCM.

I have read your query and understood your concerns.

Lack of concentration can be a part of anxiety, depression and lots of stress. If you are having any persistent stress in your life then it needs to be addressed first.

Relaxation therapy like yoga and meditation will help you a lot. Following are some tips to increase your mood and concentration:

- Engage in your hobbies
- play indoor games with your children like carrom, chess, puzzle games etc.
- Play sudoku and solve crossword puzzles
- Talk to friends and go for outing whenever you are free
- Keep distance from alcohol and other drugs
- Make a schedule of activities to perform as per priority and follow the schedule
- If you are forgetting appointments or meeting then make use of XXXXXXX application for reminder
- Become social person if you are not
- If your mind is distracted somewhere start counting backwards from 100. By the time you reach 50, you shall find yourself relieved.
- Keep yourself updated about current political affairs
- Take help from friends
- Take a good night sleep of at least 8 hours

Apart from this all steps, you can have option of drugs like modafinil, armodafinil, bupropion, dextromethamphetamine etc. These drugs help in improving the concentration. I have many patients who take these drugs before important meetings and business trips for better focus. Modafinil and armodafinil are particularly used for this.

If you want to try one of these drug then you need to visit a psychiatrist for sure. If the concentration difficulty is because of the depression then it will resolve by taking antidepressant drugs.

So, visit a psychiatrist before taking anything.

Shankhpushpi may help but there are no scientific studies for that. You can take take it. It will not cause any harm.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have further query then I will be happy to help.

Wish you good health.
