What is Sluggish Cognitive Tempo? SCT Symptoms and Treatments

 

Sluggish Cognitive Tempo is an attention disorder defined by Russell Barkley, Ph.D., as distinct from — but often overlapping with — ADHD. It is characterized by day-dreamy, confused, or sleepy/lethargic behavior.

​

​

​

SCT is an attention disorder associated with the following symptoms that resemble signs of inattentive ADHD: excessive day dreaming; behaving lethargically; poor memory retrieval; trouble staying alert in boring situations; slow processing of information; and acting withdrawn.

​

Roughly half of all patients diagnosed with SCT also have attention deficit disorder (ADHD or ADD); studies also suggest that 30 to 63 percent of patients with inattentive-type ADHD also have high levels of SCT. However, SCT “is far more likely to be linked to symptoms of anxiety and extreme sadness and far less likely to be associated with disruptive, oppositional conduct or antisocial symptoms than is ADHD,”

  5. Daydreams

  6. Loses train of thought

  7. Low level of activity (e.g., underactive)

  8. Gets lost in own thoughts

  9. Easily tired or fatigued

  10. Forgets what was going to say

  11. Easily confused

  13. Spaces or zones out

  14. Gets mixed up

  15. Thinking is slow

  16. Difficulty expressing thoughts (e.g., gets “tongue-tied”)

Though SCT is not well studied, evidence suggests it is genetic. As such, family history is also explored during an SCT evaluation.

​

​

​

​

many professionals recommend some combination of the following to help to address symptoms of SCT and overlapping conditions including ADHD, extreme sadness, and anxiety:

  • Stimulants like Ritalin address overlapping ADHD symptoms.

  • The non-stimulant atomoxetine, a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, reduces SCT symptoms in patients with both ADHD and dyslexia, ADHD only, and dyslexia only.

  • SSRIs and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy could treat overlapping anxiety and extreme sadness.

  • Luvox could treat mind wandering.

  • Healthy sleep habits, diet, and exercise can help with lethargy and concentration problems.
