Suffering from anxiety and depression why do I feel difficult to concentrate and remember?
Patient: I have long suffered with anxiety and depression. I have had the same job for 21 years and have recently been promoted. My new job is very challenging and I love the work I do. I am finding that I feel like a kid again, though. I have a very hard time staying focused, or staying on task. My new job comes with a lot of training. I usually fade away after about 10 minutes of face to face training. I read through the online training that I am required to do and end up having to read it several times because I remember nothing I have read.
