What Can Cause Lack Of Concentration?

Hi, I feel that I am suffering from lack of focus and attention which is causing a lot of forgetfulness as I am unable to follow what the opposite person speaks or is trying to explain. There are a lot many other scenarios that are creating a lot of problems and misunderstandings in the professional front as well as personal front. How do I find out what the problem is? how to recover it? Do I have to consult a doctor? I am 24yrs Old. I have been having this problem since childhood but I never took it seriously. But now that it's creating a big impact, I have to do something about it. I am 5 feet 10 inches tall and weight is around 70 kgs.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, you have depressive symptoms. In that case, you need antidepressant with low dose benzodiazepine that would help you to control depressive symptoms. You can also try some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing exercise. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper medication that would help you to come out of depressive phase. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
