Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I sincerely opine that concentration and attention span are two different thing. For an adult, attention span can never be for more than 10 minutes on a given area of activity. With boring studies, it can come down to even minutes. If you are able to watch an interesting movie continuously for 2 hous, and if you are able to play a game for one hour continuously, then you do not have any concentration problem. You are able to watch the movie and play the game because you are 'interested'. You are not interested or lack motivation in your education. Don't worry. Search google for 'effective studying tips' and you have your answers.

If you still need my help, please describe the whole problem in detail and post a direct question to me. I shall definitely help you with psychotherapy techniques to over come your problems.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
