Having memory/concentration/ focus problems is not necessarily due to neuronal damage; they may occur due to multiple causes. Unless you are abusing substances, having exposure to toxins, or having any neurodegenerative disease, it is less likely that you have neuronal damage at the age of 18. Try some meditation, relaxation techniques or yoga to improve your concentration and reduce your anxiety. Masturbation is natural. However when it begins to take over your entire life and occupies all your time, or prevents you from creating/ maintaining meaningful relationships, it is a significant problem. If the problem is overwhelming, consult a psychiatrist.

You can have a frank talk wit her and if she is really interested you consider accepting her . Or else you leave her and lead a normal life

Diabetes is a serious condition that has the possibility of passing it on genetically to your offspring. When people marry they do look for the best possible match for their daughter and for the children that are born to that relationship. You cannot really fault them to look for the welfare of their own daughter in looking for marriage prospects. Even as professionals we recommend the most compatible matching criteria to ensure that the couple is most suitable for each other so that there is no possibility of conflict leading to breakups and divorces. It is probably influenced by the theory of? survival of the fittest. I think that you must learn to accept this aspect of life and seek a partner who may have some other issue with her which has become her nemesis in finding a willing partner, and that you seek to marry such a one. The both of you will have a reason to then share a lovely life because there is no disadvantage in each other that can be used to put the other down. This makes it more compatible. Even then we do not recommend child bearing, if there are any dominant genes of the same disorder on both sides. This is a sensible way to live a good life together and yet be responsible able bearing no children so that you do not give them a known handicap to unnecessarily compound their lives too. I hope you are able to understand this reasoning: it may sound all unfair but this is how it is. There are certain things in life that is not exactly the way we want it, and we need to accept it and live with it without making it a bug-bear in life. This is true for all of us. That is why scott m peck says? life is difficult. He then recommends that we do not attempt to change that but to change ourselves to cope with that fact. So do not wallow in this situation and make life more miserable than it is: make the best adaptation so that you live life well.

The proverbial exam fever is capable of causing a lot of stress. Stress is not a good indicator for studies. Because of your age you may have hormonal imbalances which may impact your memory because of the chemical but also the distractions that come with it. But you may work on the following even if the hormones kick in: Daily exercise of at least half an hour is a must. Even if you go to a gym, ask for aerobic and/or callisthenic exercises with whatever else you are doing. A healthy body harbors a healthy mind. With regard to memory, it is very important that your brain and body is ideally rested to be able to recall whatever is required, rather comfortably. Puzzles pose problems to the brain that help it to use new pathways and neurons, which give the brain considerable exercise. It taxes the left brain to use logic to solve the myriad possibilities which other activities do not stimulate. Crosswords are excellent for vocabulary learning and use. Jigsaws and Rubik cube stimulate different permutations to finally settle on the most likely one. Picture completion and anagrams help approach problem solving from several angles. Do Sudoku, and memory co-relation activities and skills. Have a good night’s sleep, have a good breakfast of more proteins, meditate often, remain free of stress, eat a lot of fiber (whole grains, fruits and vegetables), nuts, avocado, eat dark chocolate, consume less of fat and use olive oil instead, do Yoga meditation exercises, etc. You need to check out if you are stronger visual or auditory. The visual is a better mode than the auditory. However, if you combine the two modes, you will get the best concentration. Have a special place of learning, which should be well lit, with soft painted walls, well-ventilated, with no distractions. When you get bored, study by writing. If you repeat learning at least five to seven times, you will apparently remember for a longer time. Sit comfortably but do not slouch. The reading material should be of a fairly large print. Study at small intervals of about 40 minutes and then take a break or change the subject. Short-term memory is a faculty of the left brain, and long-term memory is a feature of the right brain. When people are stressed, they tend to favor the right brain and abandon the left brain, where short-term memory resides. So, it is really very simple: deal with the stress and activate left brain functions. Here are a few suggestions to activate left brain function: shut your left nostril and breathe, move your eyes from right to left and vice versa for at least half a minute at a time, and do callisthenic exercises with some form of counting, regularly. There are some memory enhancing techniques and study methods that your teacher will be able to guide you with. If your home life is full of distractions and stress, it is likely to affect your memory, adversely. In that case, I suggest that the family goes for counseling too.

Dear, there is no such diet. You should have interest in your subject and you should be passionate. You should also get at least 6 hours of sleep every day. Be health, stress free and happy. You will be able to perform well. Take care.

It is wonderful if you are fair and handsome but character development is more important. In fact, if you are selected on the basis of your looks, you are to be pitied because that relationship will not last. Looks can be temporary in durability: looks fade away and is too dependent on the beholder's view. Even when you look for a suitable girl, do not base it on her looks alone. Very little of compatibility is based on physical attributes. There are five areas for consideration: the physical, emotional, mental, social and the spiritual. You need to focus in all these areas to be truly appealing to a girl. You must learn to carry yourself well, dress well, speak well, and be a cheerful person. Your education is going to reflect in your behavior and speech: develop them instead. Improve your values and your outlook in life, and above all improve your character. These are prevailing features that a girl will continue to love and admire for a long time!

Dear Lybrate user, Anger and aggression are emotions. Anger comes when you become irritated. Irritation happens when you don't like something, or when something is repeated.

If practiced properly, you will not get irritated at those circumstances at all. Those techniques are much easier to understand. Take care.

Strategies for Remembering 1. Become interested in what you're learning. We're all better remembering what interests us. Few people, for example, have a difficult time remembering the names of people they find attractive. If you're not intrinsically interested in what you're learning or trying to remember, you must find a way to become so. 2. Find a way to leverage your visual memory. You'll be surprised by how much more this will enable you to remember. For example, imagine you're at a party and are introduced to five people in quick succession. How can you quickly memorize their names? Pick out a single defining visual characteristic of each person and connect it to a visual representation of their name, preferably through an action of some kind. Remember: Memory is predominantly visual. 3. Create a mental memory tree. If you're trying to memorize a large number of facts, find a way to relate them in your mind visually with a memory tree. Construct big branches first, then leaves. Branches and leaves should carry labels that are personally meaningful to you in some way, and the organization of the facts ("leaves") should be logical.. 4. Associate what you're trying to learn with what you already know. It seems the more mental connections we have to a piece of information, the more successful we'll be in remembering it. This is why using mnemonics. Write out the items to be memorized over and over and over. 5. When reading for retention, summarize each paragraph in the margin. This requires you to think about what you're reading, recycle it, and teach it to yourself again. Even take the concepts you're learning and reason forward with them; apply them to imagined novel situations, which creates more neural connections to reinforce the memory. 6. Do most of your studying in the afternoon. Though you may identify yourself as a "morning person" or "evening person" at least one Study. suggests your ability to memorize isn't influenced as much by what time of day you perceive yourself to be most alert but by the time of day you actually study—afternoon appearing to be the best. 7. Get adequate sleep to consolidate and retain memories. Not just at night after you've studied but the day, you study as well. Far better to do this than to stay up cramming all night for an exam.

You can clandestinely mix the medicine with her food or drinks and she will at least improve enough that she may become amenable to counseling. She needs to speak to someone and as well as socialize rather comfortably. If you speak to the doctor, s/he will prescribe the medication that can be mixed with her food or beverage. There is some medication in liquid form too, which can be explored under these circumstances. But remember this is to aid her accessing therapy eventually. Once she goes for counseling lots of possibilities will open up.

You seem to be in stress. You will have to face whatever situation is bothering you. Fear is our biggest enemy- there is no problem in this world that doesn't have a solution. If there is no solution, then except the situation. Indulge in some relaxation exercises and meditation, talk to someone close and pour out your problems (share only with someone who can be of help), and tell yourself- this too shall pass- everything is going to be okay. Consult a psychologist, for better understanding of your problem.
