It could be a depression and a significant mix of anxiety. I had that for a long time-- and had many of the same problems that you have. Not so much the losing my train of thought, but inability to sit still, concentrate, do any work-- In retrospect, I think of it as an agitated type of depression, also atypical depression-- because my mood was variable-- I could get out of it, if something caught my interest, or struck me as funny-- for periods of time--

But I absolutely couldn't do any work at all-- which screwed up my academic performance-- rather significantly.

I also had a lot of depression, probably much more persistently than you seem to--

For a brief while I got a drug that was a great combination of dexedrine and a sedative-- then they banned it, so I had to stop-- that was the only time I could concentrate in the least. But they have some new things-- or combinations of things.

Don't know that this helps-- or that my situation is like yours.

Have you consulted with a really good psychopharmacologist? Sometimes they can be really deft with a differential diagnosis-- if they're not mechanical and you can relate to them.
