Greetings ,
Thanks for expressing your concern, I really appreciate it. As i see you are an adolescent student who might be stressed out about the studies and future endeavours. So it might be due to excess mental stress you put on yourself. It needs the first evaluation from a psychiatrist and identifies the reason for the lack of attention and concentration. At first the psychiatrist will evaluate and provide you with necessary tips to improve your attention and concentration. Then if needed further psychological management you will be directed to a psychologist.

Hi, I appreciate that you reached out with your concern.
It sounds like your mind is caught in a cycle of overthinking, making it difficult to focus on studying. This can happen due to stress, anxiety, or underlying distractions.
Try structured study techniques like the Pomodoro method (study for short bursts with breaks), mindfulness exercises to ground yourself, and reducing external distractions like avoid mobile phones on desk. You may practice concentration pranayama before studying.
Consider therapy like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that can also help in breaking the loop of overthinking. If this persists, consider seeking professional guidance to explore deeper causes.
Next Steps
For therapy, you can book an appointment with Rupali Mohbe/BIRDY ME at Practo
Health Tips
Daily do Progressive muscle relaxation techniques before studying to calm yourself.

Hello,
It is understandable that you are feeling stressed since you cannot focus on studies the way you could do earlier.
There could be several reasons for your overthinking, like performance anxiety, fear of failure and ambiguity about future plans, that need to be addressed. This shall help identifying relevant coping mechanisms.
However,acceptance of your feelings is significant. Trying to stay in the present moment facilitates concentration.
Drawing from your past achievements, shall reinstall confidence that you can effortlessly get your study focus back to track again.
Additionally, setting realistic study timelines with appropriate time for sleep and recreation can balance the overwhelmness in your mind.
Deep breathing, Journaling, Brisk walks and tracking your progress helps achieve the balance.
You can consult for further professional guidance.
Happy studying, more success and great mental health to you.
