default
Posted on Thu, 30 Jan 2025
Question: I have a lot of brain fog almost always, and I have a really hard time focusing on anything. Even when driving on road, I have to put a lot of pressure to keep focus. All day I have really low energy and feel tired, also feels like losing interest in most things. Always having issue with overthinking and a lot of stress and anxiety because of overthinking for unnecessary things sometimes and sometime s get too carefree. Major issue is lack of focus, brain fog and low energy levels. Having these issue for many years seems to be getting worse every year.

I read your problems and can understand what you have been passing through since long. You have at present symptoms of Major Depressive disorder as well as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).
