What Causes Concentration Deviation?

I m having trouble focusing and concentrating on important things like things my babies pediatrician tell me about my baby I find myself thinking about other things while they are talking to me. I find that my my mind wanders all the time i listen to people when they are talking to me but i can t seem to concentrate on what they are saying. I also find myself forgetting things all the time where i put things, when my baby last ate and when to feed him again, appointments and I start things but never finish them and start something else iI get distracted and don t complete what I start. Is this normal or do I have a problem?

Thank you for your mail.It seems your concentration is impaired and if it really interfering in your day to day life ,it is not normal. If I am your treating doctor I would rule out the possibility of Generalized anxiety disorder,OCD and depression first.I would also like to find out the stressors.
Meanwhile,I would suggest you to do things slowly,one thing at a time,do medidation for few minutes daily.You can also make a daily journal to remember things.
I find this answer helpful
