How Can I Deal With Extreme Difficulty In Focussing In My Daily Activities?

hi I have trouble focusing with anything from homework, to talking with parents, to regular work. I have anxiety and take medication for it but my problem about focusing is still there. also I lash out very easy, and can never own up to anything. I have been trying to fix this problem for a few years now and cant seem to figure out anything

Hi,

First of all, the above mentioned symptoms are suggestive of anxiety with inattention. Poor attention leads to difficulty in completing tasks and causes anxiety as a result.

There are a few medications which will help you recover from your problem. These medications are psychostimulants like Methylphenidate. These medicines are not available over the counter. I would suggest you to visit a doctor. In more than 40% of the people, these symptoms are reduced with medication.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
