How does your mental health affect your ability to stay focused?
9 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
You can lose focus : Any mental disorder that affects you emotionally and functionally can drain energy, and mental clarity, especially when it is chronic. Your ability to stay focused is likely going to be diminished. Contrast that however to what happens to you when you are fearful or suddenly threatened in some fashion and you could be in true danger of harm. All your senses are on hyper alert for fight or flight.
