Suffering From Anxiety And Depression Why Do I Feel Difficult To Concentrate And Remember?

I am finding that I feel like a kid again, though. I have a very hard time staying focused, or staying on task. My new job comes with a lot of training. I usually fade away after about 10 minutes of face to face training. I read through the online training that I am required to do and end up having to read it several times because I remember nothing I have read. Could I have ADD
