What Could Cause The Inability To Remember What I Studied, Lack Of Focus And Persistent Racing Thoughts?
i have always known there was something wrong with me but I am in college and I now have been made aware of my problems. I cant seem to remember what I spend hours and hours studying for on test day and I have a problem completing assignments on time. also I dont sleep well my mind never seems to stop...Is there something associated with ADHD.. and small sounds distract me when I am taking a test... I have to start back over

Hello,
Excessive thinking, easy distractions and disturbed sleep could be due to anxiety more commonly than ADHD. How is your mood generally? Do you feel low or sad? Do you feel anxious all day?
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shubham Mehta, Psychiatrist
