Not necessarily: Focus problems can simply mean poor sleep habits, hunger, preoccupation with life's many issues or many other problems.A good evaluation with your doc can help you sort it out.

Not always: Anxiety, Depression, Pain. Each of these conditions can have an effect on focus. Getting a full evaluation and testing for the disorder is the best way to determine.
