Hello Welcome to HCM
You have complaints of poor concentration at work, tiredness and fatiguability at work. You are not able to study or work. Such type of symptoms can occur commonly due to nutritional deficiencies.
Low hemoglobin, low vitamin B12 are main causes which can result in such symptoms. I would advise you to get your Hb and Vitamin B12 levels checked. Start taking iron and vitamin B12 supplements and you will see improvement.
Hypothyroidism is also one possibility but other symptoms like poor appetite, weight gain, cold intolerance etc are also commonly seen.
If all investigations come normal then we can think of depression and anxiety as possible cause. Mild depression usually present with symptoms like lack of concentration, tiredness, lack of interest I work and studies. I would advise you to consult a Psychiatrist for proper evaluation of symptoms and treatment.
Hope this helps you, thanks
