What Causes Difficulty In Focusing On A Task?

I have always excelled when it came to schooling. High school was really easy because I never had to put in a lot of effort but now that I m in college and have to actually study for exams and put forth a higher level of effort I find that it is extremely hard for me to focus. I have always had trouble sitting still and always have to be either walking around or shaking my legs or tapping my hands to feel comfortable but that never bothered me until I recently discovered how hard it is for me to focus on one thing at a time.

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

From the available description it appears that you are dealing with mild form off attention deficit disorder as experienced by difficulty in focusing, difficulty in sitting for long time, tapping fingers, shaking legs among others.


Because of mild nature of illness it is possible that it never bothered you in past but with increasing difficulty level it has been manifested.

In my opinion you need to see a psychiatrist without delay for proper diagnosis and treatment.


Hope I have answered your query.
