Lack of attention
Most of the mental health issues present with the common complaint of attention deficit. Nearly 90% of anxiety patients reported lack of concentration. Constant worrying, irritability and conscious awareness of how anxiety is disturbing your body occupies a significant chunk of brain activity. In scientific terms, it is also dubbed as working memory. The patient may find it hard to concentrate on the task at hand. The ability to process the information and apply it is significantly debilitated due to constant anxiety. Consequentially, anxiety patients are often viewed as procrastinators or lazy, which is far from reality.
