found a way to solve my issue by practicing meditation via n-back client, I will hopefully write down the details in my brain training sub soon

What is n-back
Seven 2 points 3 years ago
Brain exercise meant to train the pfc- helps with memory, focus etc, it has many ongoing researches right now and I am playing it for experimentation reasons, I can't tell it that much but it does kinda help me I guess... I am still a beginner though

A Dr won't just give you drugs without taking you through an assessment. They usually provide a 10 question assessment first to determine if you meet the threshold to then do further testing.
It may be important to know what region you're in to determine how receptive a GP may be to recommending assessment.

I wasn't referring to drugs, I was more so referring to the specific game I am playing- I should've clarified that it is a game primarily meant to train the PFC. I saw big improvements from my meds as I played this more and more but now I am finding myself focusing on my distractions more, although more lucidly now. I found a way to deal with this though
I already have been taking it long enough to be passing it I assume

I tend to embrace my distractions for short durations (30 seconds) and then let them go and move back to the primary task.
