Is There A Cure For The Lack Of Concentration And Depression?

i have a problem, being not able to concentrate or focus on my studies for more than 5-10 mins. once i sit down for my studies, i get flooded with thoughts, more of them being that i could not do good as a student neither with my studies nor with other activities? moreover i feel like i am depressed trying to study harder. i just finished my bachelor of surgery and bachelor of medicine (MBBS) from nepal, and i was average as an student and now i am preparing for qualifying examinations for masters. i want to know if i have some kind of attention deficit or is it just the bad habits or other distractions that are affecting my concentration to studies or is it a serious case of depression that is building inside me?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

You are in transition phase of your life. In that case, you need a supportive system. May be your are tense, due to your entrance exam. Better to do study in group, that would help you keep in shape and active. You can try some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing. In case, you want to use antidepressant, you can. There is nothing harm in it.

Thanks
