What Is The Treatment For Obsession And Loss Of Focus?

I'm kind of obsessed with someone and have almost lost focus on my career and otherwise. I'm not very determined and am highly inert. I have a strong memory that is actually helping me a lot else, I would have broken down long. I'm no longer able to take it now and need help.

Hello,
The history is suggestive of stressful effect of emotional relationship you were into.
I think that either you enter into a therapy session with some good psyhiatrist or start an antidepressant. Drug like escitalopram ot sertraline are good.Though there is no active sadness evident here but in males the inactivity and lack of motivation symptoms are reflective of the same situation. The obession like symptoms are also taken care by the drugs. They will bring back the zeal in your life and break this lethargic inertia which has set in.

Please strat the meds and later once you get back into your previous mode of life, you may stop it.

Wish you good luck!
