Suggest Treatment For Concentration Difficulty

Hi doctor, over the past few years I ve recognized that my attention is off when I m doing my day to day activities. My parents have noticed that my attention factor is all over the place. When I m in class trying to focus I m distracted by the smallest things and can t seem to focus on the lesson taught. I ve talk to my family members and they wanted to reach out and discuss with a doctor if I need to be prescribed adderall?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It's disheartening to know about your condition regarding concentration and attention difficulties. Not able to focus is NOT the only criteria to start on tablet Adderall. THERE MIGHT BE NUMEROUS CAUSES FOR CONCENTRATION DIFFICULTIES. How about your mood overall? If you are mood is euthymic that is if you are happy then you will be able to concentrate or else you might feel difficulty to concentrate. There are quite many techniques to improve your concentration. Going for morning walk daily, exercising for 2 to 3 days per week, listening to songs, solving few puzzles, watching movies, spending time with your friends and family members initially makes you feel better which helps you concentrate more on your a academics. If you still feel problematic you can consult a clinical psychologist who teaches you further regarding improving of your concentration. There is also an option like syrup piracetam which on taking long term, improve your concentration by increasing the blood circulation in the micro circulation of your brain. Tablet Adderal should be started only after thorough examination by a psychiatrist. Please don't be in a hurry to start on tablet Adderall.

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