So I am wondering what other categories are there for concentration problems. Because mine seems to be in a third category. It's caused by cPTSD so I wonder if there's some knowledge out there on a cPTSD variant of concentration problems. Does anyone have any experience with it?
Though mine is almost resolved, it's improved a lot over several years...

I have CPTSD, ADHD, and bipolar 1. Of the three, I think when I'm manic is when I am most restless and can't concentrate on anything. I pick up a book, 5 minutes later I put it back down. I go to the store and turn around and leave because I can't remember what I came to get. When the mania passes, it gets much better. I take Adderall and multiple medications for my CPTSD and bipolar 1. I may need to up my lithium and ketamine. It's always a crap shoot trying to find what works best, at least for me. I personally have never experienced a fog but then mine is severe and treatment resistant so that could explain it. I do however experience dissociation.
I have to agree with the others that you need to see a doctor and get evaluated. Smartest thing I ever did.
