Feeling A Sense Of Wandering And Lack Of Concentration

My brain keeps wandering from one point to another. I do a bit of excercise and meditation but can't seem to calm my mind. It does not stick to one thing. Am into IT and 40 years of age. Can you recommend some medicine for this. The problem is for several years but its causing problem in my career now.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I certainly do not think that the details you mentioned here are enough. You should be more elaborate. Being absent minded is one thing and wandering mind is another. I shall be able to answer this question in a general manner.

Your mind starts wandering when you are unable to engage it. You should relate the problem to your passion towards your job. If you feel bored about your job atmosphere, somehow not interested, somehow feel restless etc, naturally your mind wanders and your job gets affected. Same is applicable to your personal life also. If you are unsatisfied about your personal life, or if there is any dissatisfaction somewhere, mind becomes restless.

What is your actual problem? Please have an introspection. Answer lies in the reason. I shall help you if you post a direct question to me in this website. Include every detail as much as you can. Then I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques to control your condition. I am sure that the techniques should be a success.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
