Can't concentrate for more than a minute?

I'm self-studying for a huge exam and I can't seem to concentrate for more than a minute. It sometimes takes me an hour to get through one page. I've never been like this, but after graduating college a few months ago, it got really bad. I'm pretty sure I don't have ADHD, but I just lose motivation and get distracted easily. Has anyone experienced this and how did you fix it?

    Go somewhere there are zero distractions, like a library study room. Binaural Concentration video work for me too.

    Schedule an appointment with your family doctor. When the doctor asks what brings you in today show them what you have written here. Use that as a basis for having a frank discussion on how you are doing. They can do a full physical and neurological workup to see if you have a medical condition that needs to be addressed. They can also check if anything you are taking or doing may be causing or contributing to your issue. They can refer you to a mental health professional who can evaluate your mental state. Be sure to show them what you have written here also. Once a diagnosis has been made, treatment options can be discussed.
