Hello,

In my opinion, it is necessary to continue medications; try splitting issues into parts also try scheduling stuff. It is also important to do some letter cancellation techniques say for example.

If you choose letter A, try cancelling that letter at the end of time, check how many A and how any other letters are cancelled this will lead improve attention.

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