Dear friend

Thanks a lot for sharing your concerns with us .

I am afraid I can not help you much with the very brief explanation you gave . There are many reasons for loosing concentration .It is not rare to see the organic diseases such as anemia or thyroid dysfunction show the same symptomotology of anxiety or depression . Therefore if the situation gets more sever and affects your global functioning ,I would strongly suggest you to be visited by a general practitioner and after ruling out the probable physiological problems ,if the GP needs more specialized view ,he may refer you to a professional in mental health services .

With my best regards
