Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi doctors my age is 17yrs,5ft6 height,and i wana ask this thing that i am not able to concentrate on my studies.Whenever i sit to study i study for 30 min continously then i start to do some other like using my cellphone, listing music,etc. and not able to concentrate in my studies so what can be the possible cure for it so that i can fully concentrate in my studies?
Hi, thanks for the query. Since when do have these concentration difficulties in studies? Starting from simple to more complex issues; we usually are able to concentrate better when whatever we are reading/doing is interesting for us & NOT MERELY DRAB WORK! Hence, you can try to make studies interesting by devising punmonics, trying to figure out practical applications of whatever you are studying with help of teachers & elders around. Secondly, try & choose subjects/courses which you are really interested in studying & just dont study for the heck of getting a degree/academic qualification. Lastly, studies have time & again proven that average concentration span of human mind is around 30 minutes. Hence, if you are able to study for 30 minutes; you are actually doing good! You can devise a 30 minutes study-10 minutes break (strictly 10 minutes!!) schedule to improve your concentration. Good Luck
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Such problems do disturb so many youngsters. You do not have concentration problems. You can watch a movie for two hours, you can play a game for two hours, you can do anything you are interested in for hours. But you cannot study for half an hour in a stretch. Means you are not interested in studies. Once you get interested concentration automatically comes. Make study interesting. find ways to make study interesting. Lot of techniques are available on internet. Search for effective learning techniques.
If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
