Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] I consider myself to be an intelligent person, as do others. Unfortunately, I have incredible difficulty studying at school (in year 12 right now) regardless of how motivated I think I am and how hard I try to concentrate. In the classroom I cant really follow what the teachers are saying, and when I read paragraphs I have to go over them about 3-4 times before I can actually understand/remember what is written. I also get distracted very easily especially when doing something boring; in the class Ill start talking to people or open my laptop, and at home Ill go get food or do something like patting my cats when trying to revise for a SAC.I really dont know if Im just extremely lazy/unmotivated or if I have a learning disability like ADD or something. Unfortunately I wont be able to pay for an answer so please only respond if thats ok, I dont want to waste your time.Thanks in advance.
[|AI|]  Hello The features like poor concentration at class, lack of interest in class, feeling lazy or tired whole day, lack of motivation, distractibility etc. may be due to initial stages of depressive disorder. These type of symptoms are commonly seen in mild depression. I would recommend you to please visit a good Psychiatrist for expert opinion. Medicines like SSRI as Fluoxetine, Escitalopram, Sertraline etc. are very useful in depression. Other medicines like Venlafaxine, Duloxetine are also useful. Apart from medicines Cognitive Therapy is also a good alternative to medicines.  Hope it helps. Thanks
