But there is a CDS that is directly connected to ADHD and it\u2019s likely something you\u2019ve never heard of before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what is Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome and what are the symptoms? How is it similar to ADHD and how is it different? CDS is not an officially recognized diagnosis in the DSM-5. It\u2019s currently what\u2019s called a clinical construct &#8211; a term used in psychology to define a group of behaviors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Researchers, including today\u2019s guest Dr. Zoe Smith, have been working for years to get the construct recognized and there is still so much we don\u2019t know about CDS. Without an official diagnosis, it can be hard for providers to identify the signs and symptoms of CDS and Dr. Z is joining us to share what we do know about this relatively unknown comorbid condition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Zoe R. Smith, PhD<\/strong> (she\/her) is an assistant professor of psychology at Loyola University Chicago with research interests in the development of culturally-responsive assessments and interventions for adolescents. She is the leader of ACCTION Lab, an organization that is dedicated to community-based assessment and intervention development for youth with ADHD and Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome. She has authored or co-authored numerous scholarly articles on ADHD and CDS and served with 12 other scholars beginning in 2021 in a work group to evaluate current knowledge and identify key directions in the study of sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/acctionlab\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@ACCTIONLab<\/a>&nbsp;X(Twitter):&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/drzoersmith?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@DrZoeRSmith<\/a>&nbsp;TikTok:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@acction.lab?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=pc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@ACCTION.Lab<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS) and its connection to ADHD.
