Obtain evaluation of: Possible medical and psychological causes. Ms can affect thinking. Seek evaluation by an expert in adhd. Anxiety, depression, poor sleep, etc. Can contribute. Review and improve daily living habits of sleep, nutrition and exercise. Stress management helps everything including ms. Best regards.
