Suggest Treatment For Trouble Concentrating And Poor Learning Skills
I am a 24 year old college graduate working a new job in my chosen field of event planning where I have to consult with clients, take orders and follow strict procedures. My bosses have recently met with me and asked if I have ADD. I have been having trouble concentrating and retaining material I have learned. I have also been making no brainer mistakes on orders, like mistyping numbers, etc. I was never diagnosed with ADD and I performed well in college. My brother was diagnosed with ADHD as a child but is not being treated for it now.

Hello,
Lack of attention and problem focusing is seen in many conditions other than ADD like:
1) Hypothyroidism
2) Stress
3) Hypo-pituitarism
4) Depression
5) Extreme anxiety
To those who come to my clinic with similar symptoms I would recommend the following:
1) Make sure you have adequate sleep
2) Make sure you drink 12-15 glasses of water
3) Make sure you have balanced diet
4) Daily meditation would help to improve concentration.
5) Once you can consult a psychiatrist for further evaluation
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
