attention deficit

[mickeyb44]

Hi all,

I have paranoid schizophrenia and anxiety which I take strong meds for. For the last couple of weeks my attention span has been about 15 mins, is this just another symptom of my illness ?

Hi, Michael. This question is something that many of us probably wonder about with whatever condition we have. It's a good question! It may be one for you to ask your doctor or therapist. Meanwhile, maybe some folks with your illness who are on NMP forums will want to comment.

From what you've shared with us, it is still early days for you with your diagnoses and medications. And new things to learn for your volunteer job as well means you are busy for sure. You may find that your attention span improves as time goes on, or you may find ways to cope with it and be able to function well even with the shortened attention span.

Keep posting! :D

Cool videos! If you have the patience to film storms and do the editing, I would say you don't have ADD ;)
