A member asked:
Can you please tell me how lack of concentration caused by adhd and depression differ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Concentration: A whole constellation of symptoms are associated with adhd (suggest that you goggle this). Although medication can improve focus it will not cure the underlying adhd. Poor concentration is a sx of stress &/or depression. When the depression is adequately treated, the concentration problems will likely resolve.
