Fluctuating concentration in your situation could be related to stress and sleep issues rather than a purely neurological disorder. The history of stress and depression you’ve mentioned can affect cognitive functions like focus and problem-solving ability. This is often variable, just as you’ve described, with good and bad days. The amount of sleep you’re getting—about 7 hours—is close to what’s typically recommended, but the quality of that sleep is also very important. Stress can lead to sleep disturbances even if you’re sleeping for an adequate duration; poor-quality sleep might leave you feeling less rested and focused the next day. Since you’re not experiencing neurological symptoms like weakness, seizures, speech issues, or fainting, this makes neurological causes less likely. However, it may be a good idea to rule out conditions like ADHD if concentration issues continue.
Besides your current intake of omega 3 and brahmi, consider aspects like sleep hygiene (consistent sleep schedule, comfortable sleep environment) and stress management techniques (such as mindfulness or cognitive behavioral therapy). It might also be worthwhile to evaluate nutritional aspects, as some deficiencies could affect cognitive function. But since our daily lives can be quite demanding, ensuring these basics can often make a noticeable difference. If concentration problems persist or worsen, though, you should consult a healthcare professional to consider a detailed assessment and potentially tailored treatment. Keep tabs on your mental health as well, as this has an intertwined relationship with cognitive function.
