Hello.......
Thanks for your query. Inability to concentrate is not a symptom of schizophrenia. However, it could be a symptom of depression/anxiety disorder/ ADHD/ other causes. Hence, you would require a thorough psychiatric evaluation before appropriate medication can be prescribed or psychotherapy can be started. I would also suggest you to check your visual acuity with an ophthalmologist. Wish you speedy recovery.

Hi
Welcome to HCM
Read your prob, only headach n loss of concentration is not considered as pshysizophrenia. you should consult with psychiatrist n rule out the cause of it . most probably this is due to depression, loss of interest. so try to develop interst n change your life stly, sleepin habit(if it is not proper). do as per advise of your psychiatrist.
