Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. The symptoms like lack of confidence, feelings like you will fail in everything, as if you are in different world, symptoms of poor concentration etc should be given proper attention. Such symptoms could point toward depression. You have been to special education school and this also supports some psychiatric condition responsible for these symptoms. You also have symptoms like forgetfulness, lack of co-ordination and these are hampering your day to day routine. So I'd advise you to visit a psychiatrist for help. Medicines like SSRIs especially Fluoxetine, Escitalopram etc can help to reduce the symptoms. These medicines will also help to improve the focus. Please consult a psychiatrist for help and prescription of these drugs.

Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care
