The mailbag
Is brain fog a real medical condition?
It is a symptom, not a diagnosis. A real and common one. Sleep debt, stress, diet and hormones all produce it. Persistent fog with other symptoms deserves a doctor visit.
How long does it take to get focus back?
Sleep and diet fixes show in two to three weeks. Supplements with real data need eight to twelve. Anyone promising tomorrow morning is selling caffeine.
When should I see a doctor about focus problems?
When the change is sudden, severe or comes with other symptoms: headaches, mood shifts, memory loss that scares your family. Do not self-diagnose those.
