Very likely: After reviewing your medical history, it is very likely that your concentration problems are linked to depression, hypothyroidism and chronic pain. These conditions drain the neurotransmitters off your brain. It is very difficult to diagnose and treat without seeing a patient, but your psychiatrist will be able to adjust all your medications to the maximum allowed, and restore your health.
