A 25 yrs old female graduate student comes to you saying her mind wanders everytime she tries to study. This is happening for as long as she can remember. SHe says whenever she is studying she reads for 1 minute and then the next minute she unintentionally starts thinking about something else that happened in the past or day dreaming...and she doesnt even realizes it until after 2 mintues. She somehow managed with her studies in the past but now its becoming more and more disabling.This happens only when she studies she adds What is the likely diagnoses?

actually i was thiking about Attn deficit disorder first but then she says it happens only when she studies.....anxiety disorder...well how can it be there all the time as long as she remembers?....OCD cant be because its only re;ated to studies and not with everything else...
defense mechnasim...she is trying to escape a particular stressful situation e.g studying...
maybe 3 defense mechanism. (escape)
