What causes mental confusion?

Question

I noticed last night when I was watching a show that had a lot of different characters in the movie, I could not keep up with the show and who was who. I also could not understand what they were saying, like I could not comprehend what they were saying. I usually have no trouble understand normal everyday language. I was watching Law & Order. It was making me really scared.

There have also been times when people have bombarded me with questions and I could not keep up with the questions, I felt like I was being interrogated for a crime. I get scared and I can't think fast enough, they are demanding answers that I don't know.

When I was watching TV it was different, I could not comprehend what they were saying. What does this mean?

Answer 1

You may have an anxiety disorder or just be overwelmed in your daily life lately.  The brain goes to great lenghths to protect us from stress.  I would just go in and talk to your doctor about it if it is scaring you that bad.
