> keep in mind, a lot of kids in college like to think they don't have a mental illness, and think it's more fashionable to claim it's some cute fad.Well my prof. said that grad school students do it a lot too, and that it actually does help concentrate and give them an edge.
I am in no way a druggie, in fact I HATE taking any kinds of meds, so I am not going to experiment with something that can mess me up.
When I heard that it could help with concentration, I thought maybe it would be okay for my doc to precribe for me because it would help with my memory loss.
If I wasn't having this problem, I wouldn't need any help as I am a honor roll student with 3.99 GPA. So I DO know how to study. But studying isn't working for me now for some reason, I can't remember what I read 2 hours later. Even stuff I really enjoy, even reading for just enjoyment.
It is very scary for me to have this problem, I don't want to give up college or my future carreer because I can't retain any info.
