Patient discussion about concentrated.

Q. My brother is having a bipolar mania so what causes to lose on his concentration? My brother is having a bipolar mania. He takes his medicines in time and is trying to follow a good routine. But he is still not able to concentrate well as before. He gets less sleep but he is able to do his work. He says he has to apply much pressure to bring back his concentration to work. I don’t understand what causes to lose on his concentration?

A. The symptoms your brother is showing are manic symptome... It is very common for a person suffering a manic episode to have a loss of concentration and lack of sleep among other symptoms... If he is taking his medications as perscribed and continues to have symptoms it is something he should be talking about with his doctors. He may need to have his medications tweaked or changed. I hope he feels better soon.
