Brain fog is a term to describe a temporary state of inability to think clearly, confusion of mind, forgetfulness and lack of focus and concentration. It is not a disease, disorder or any medical condition in itself but can be an indicating feature of many other medical conditions. It can have an impact on a person’s day to day life and interfere with ability to work, attend job from concentration difficulty. It can lead to irritability, anxiety, frustration. Homeopathic medicines for brain fog help a person think clearly, improve concentration and focus, treat forgetfulness, confusion of mind, mental fatigue, low energy levels, headache and manage stress, anxieties. 
Reasons
There are many reasons behind brain fog.
Firstly it includes long term stress, depression, anxiety ( long term presence of all these three can exhaust the mind leading to difficulty in thinking and problems in paying focus and concentrating in doing any work). Second reason is lack of adequate sleep.
Next are hormonal changes (like those occurring during pregnancy, menopause), underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), Hashimoto’s disease (an autoimmune disorder that inflames the thyroid), iron deficiency anaemia, deficiency of vitamin B12 and obesity (being overweight).
Additionally, certain medications (like sleeping pills, some pain relieving medicines, corticosteroid, chemotherapy drugs, anxiety treating drugs) can cause brain fog.
Other than this, some medical conditions can have brain fog as an attending symptom in addition to the other major symptoms. These medical conditions include multiple sclerosis (an autoimmune disease in which there is damage to the protective myelin sheath covering of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord), chronic fatigue syndrome (disorder in which a person has extreme tiredness which is not explained by any underlying medical condition. In this concentration issues can arise).
The next medical condition is Alzheimer’s disease (a progressive brain disorder in which brain cells die that causes decline in memory and thinking ability and eventually the sufferer is unable to carry even the simple tasks. It is the most common cause of dementia. In this symptoms of brain fog can appear).
Fibromyalgia is another medical condition linked with it (a chronic disorder in which widespread pain in the body is experienced along with general fatigue. In this other complaints like sleep problems, depression and brain fog can also appear too).
Other medical conditions that can have brain fog as an attending symptom are sleep apnea (it is a serious sleep disorder in which a person experiences momentary pauses in breathing many times during sleep. This causes a person to wake frequently leading to poor quality sleep. This lack of sleep can lead to excessive sleepiness in daytime, headache, irritability and problems to pay attention while awake), diabetes and migraine.

We handle her politely but she doesn’t want to hear what we tell her even if it is harmful to her. eg: using make ups, playing with other kid, if the other kid is not giving the thing and not sharing, she will bite. Because she always shares the things.

Hi Dr. Sharma,
I’m 49 yo and I haven’t had my period in over a year. For years I was experiencing fluctuating periods, fibroids, and an ovarian cyst during peri-menopause. Now, I’ve officially entered menopause and I have been experiencing a lack of energy, anxiety/panic attacks, brain fog, lack of concentration/focus, inability to follow through on ideas, depressed/glum feeling, thoughts are scattered & cluttered, inability to make decisions, mild hot flashes, weight gain, moments of wanting to jump outta my skin..it’s like I’ve lost my zest and clarity in life and want to bust free.
Thank you,
Tina
Glad to see that you include POTENCIES and dose intervals in *some* of your articles, but I wish you would UPDATE your older ones with the potency, etc info too! This article, for example, would be much more helpful if one knew whether to use a 6c, a 30c, 200c, or Q, etc potencies. And it would help to know if the remedy was for 1xday, twice day, or 1xweek, etc.
GREAT articles! The best Homeopathy site I have found! Please add potency info to your older articles for those of us who want to learn.
Thanks! Blessings!

Hello Sir, I take depression medicine for last 10 years. Few days back i had drunk whiskey and from next day I am suffering from brain fog. I am unable to focus, concentration, doing things in hurry, anxiety, feeling like I will become mental. It is like my brain is cloudy and i am doing everything in dreams but in reality I am doing all fine
This may be because of interaction of alcohol with my depression medicine but I am not sure.
Please help me to get out of this fog
Thanks
