How can I concentrate on reading?

I can't concentrate while reading!!! Help?

  • I really find it hard to concentrate doing things recently. For example, I find it hard to read a text word by word. I mean, I must really FORCE myself to read it. If I do, I understand it. But if I won't force myself, I really find it hard to understand the text and read it word by word. Do I have some sort of ADHD or dyslexia?? HELP!!!!!! I'm 19 yo male! And oh, I also notice that I easily forget things! I don't remember in details what I did yesterday. Can it be only because of lack of sleep?

  • Answer:

    I think lack of sleep can make it difficult to concentrate and foregetful if you're tired. Could you be a bit stressed out? Sometimes I find it hard to concentrate reading when I've got things on my mind. Might be good for you to get tested though for dyslexia etc as if you have that then there will be some help available for you in dealing with that.

Since this is only a recent problem and you are 19, it is definitely not dyslexia or ADHD. Those things manifest at much younger ages (like four or five). Lack of sleep could be a contributing factor, but what is causing your lack of sleep? I suspect that you are suffering from depression, or perhaps a vitamin deficiency. There are lots of things that can cause depression, including underlying illnesses, so please see a doctor. It may be that you just need to get to bed earlier, but it's better to be safe and get a checkup.
