ADHD & Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome

Been diagnosed with ADHD? Does the diagnosis fit? In other words, based on what you are told about ADHD, is that your experience? If so, are you familiar with sluggish cognitive tempo or its new name, cognitive disengagement syndrome (CDS)? In October 2014, we reported on the discovery of a new disorder. It seems many diagnosed with inattentive ADHD could actually have a different disorder called sluggish cognitive tempo. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper (http://www.digcoaching.com) interviews Joey Fredrick (https://www.cincinnatichildrens.org/service/c/adhd). Since our last review of the topic, things have progressed a bit. This episode will update our understanding of CDS, give evidence to validate this newly identified condition, and educate you about the differences between ADHD and CDS to help you better manage your condition if you might actually have something different from ADHD. Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and attention deficit disorder, including managing symptoms of ADHD in adults with ADD or adults who have children with ADHD.Attention Talk Radio, hosted by Jeff Copper, attention and ADHD coach, is designed to help adults (particularly those diagnosed with or impacted by attention deficit disorder or its symptoms) in life or business who are stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated to help them get unstuck and moving forward by opening their minds to pay attention to what works.
