It is one of the most important symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (mental disorder that causes inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior) in children and adults.
For students, for example, the most common causes of deconcentration can be:
• The problems and personal concerns can also create a state of mind that is negative for the study. This does not mean that a person who has a problem cannot concentrate, but in this emotional state it takes more effort since the force of worry fixes the mental attention on that matter.
• The external disorder directly influences the mental chaos.
• Stress and exhaustion syndrome.
• Consumption of alcohol, coffee, nicotine or drugs
• Unbalanced diet (lack of vitamins and minerals, excess sugar consumption).
On the other hand, deconcentration can have organic, psychosomatic or neurological causes and often appears as a symptom of another underlying illness, such as depression, anorexia nervosa, and hyperthyroidism.
In women, disturbances in the ability to concentrate often appear during menopause. Especially in older people, poor concentration can be a consequence of a disorder in the blood supply to the brain, which occurs due to arteriosclerosis of the blood vessels of the brain. A lack of concentration often appears as a symptom of dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
The causes of constant lack of concentration can be genetic or damage suffered at a young age. In children, permanent lack of concentration is often a symptom of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or legasthenia.
By last; It is important to note that erratic thinking has the honor of being responsible for great discoveries, such as Newton's law of gravity. We have all experienced the benefits of letting our minds wander: the word on the tip of the tongue, where we put the screwdriver, the name of an old friend. But the price we are paying is thinking instead of focusing on what they are doing could be high. Neither more nor less than happiness.
The brain is a kind of "supercomputer", of complex operation, of which we only know a small part. We know that it has conscious and unconscious activity, both of equal importance since they allow to carry out complex actions at the same time and in a fluid way; and that you can think of the dinner menu while attending a work call, an evolutionary achievement.
