Abstract

Oliver Rebeca*

Hyperactivity is a psychological and behavioral condition characterized by excessive levels of activity, restlessness, impulsivity, and difficulty in sustaining attention. It is commonly associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) but can also occur as a symptom of other medical conditions or as a result of environmental factors. This abstract provides an overview of hyperactivity, its causes, symptoms, and treatment options. Understanding hyperactivity is crucial for effective diagnosis, management, and support for individuals affected by this condition. Hyperactivity is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by excessive levels of activity, impulsivity, and difficulty in sustaining attention. It commonly manifests as a symptom of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), a complex disorder affecting both children and adults. However, hyperactivity can also occur in isolation or as a symptom of other underlying medical or psychiatric conditions. Stimulant medications, such as methylphenidate and amphetamines, are commonly prescribed to reduce hyperactivity and improve attention and impulse control. Nonstimulant medications and alternative treatments may also be considered depending on individual needs and preferences.
