Suggest Medications To Enhance Concentration

In school, i have dificultys concentrating. I cannot pay attention or concentrate on something unless i find it interesting or simple. I cannot sit in one place for more than 30 minutes, or i will start to feel antsy. Is it possible that i could have a mild condition of ADD or ADHD?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. This problem is being faced by a lot of pupil across the world. Once you have good concentration in other things which re interesting, movies, games etc, then you are not troubled by any diseases. If you have ADD, then the attention deficit should be in every aspect, including interesting movies. The span of attention might vary.

In your case, the problem clearly is lack of interest in some subjects. There are lot of methods to make learning effective and interesting. Making a goal and sticking to that is one. Learning with the help of pictures, organization chart, diagrams etc is another. Group discussion is another. You have to learn anyhow, then why not getting everything right?

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 some effective learning techniques which should help you.

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