Brief Answer:
Could be ADHD.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and we need to exclude ADHD.

If the loss of focus is affecting your work output and interfering with your performance, then, it would be better to get evaluated by a physician.

Also, there are treatments that can help you get better.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.

Best wishes,

Brief Answer:
You will need prescription from your doctor.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.

The medications for ADHD such as methylphenidate are prescription drugs, and hence, can not be prescribed here. You would need to get it prescribed by your doctor.
