I was recently diagnosed with anxiety and depression. I am 37 yr old female with no history of mental health issues. I have been having a lot of problems with concentrating and focusing while trying to do everyday things not to mention trying to work. I also have a hard time recalling information at times that I know I know! On top of this I have noticed issues with holding conversations that I will either say a word incorrectly or unable to come up with the correct word to use. Is this part of the depression and anxiety? Is it from the stress? I've had tests and they all came back with no abnormalities. I'm on Prozac currently after trying numerous other meds which did not help. They seemed to make me feel worse and intensify the concentration issues! Please help!
Has anyone experienced concentration, focusing, memory problems due to depression or anxiety?
