Question: I can't concentrate on anything..my mind is being so much disturbed..I am not able to study
Brief Answer:
Could be attention deficit disorder.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic
From your long query,it seems that you have attention deficit disorder with mild depression as you have difficulty to concentrate for study.
This is an easily treatable condition.
The drugs of choice would be selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like escitalopram and CNS stimulant like methylphenidate.
However, both these are prescription drugs and can be given only after complete examination.
Also,take vitamin B complex with folic acid daily and take lots of fruits and juices in regular diet to replenish the store of vitamins and minerals.
It seems that your problem is purely psychological,so I will advice to consult psychiatrist for a detailed history and examination and after that a psychiatrist would be able to prescribe the required treatment.
Counselling for few weeks with psychiatrist will help and your problem will be solved.
Do regular follow up with your psychiatrist and take medicine as per his instructions.
Do not worry as you are quite young and have a long carrier ahead.
Hope this will help you.
Take care.
Regards,
