How Is Sluggish Cognitive Tempo Treated?

Sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) is a relatively newly-recognized condition. It's an attention disorder that can overlap with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), though the symptoms and effect on the brain have certain distinctions from ADHD. Individuals with sluggish cognitive tempo tend to daydream excessively, experience 'brain fog' and fatigue, have sluggish physical movements, struggle to remember information, struggle to stay alert in uninteresting situations, have trouble following conversations, process information slowly and become easily confused, and act withdrawn or apathetic.
