Hiperaktivitási

Hiperaktivitási, often referred to as hyperactivity, is a symptom characterized by excessive physical movement and an inability to remain still. It is a prominent feature of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), a neurodevelopmental condition. Individuals experiencing hyperactivity may fidget, squirm, or move around constantly, even in situations where it is inappropriate or disruptive. This can manifest as running, climbing, or talking excessively.

The intensity of hyperactivity can vary among individuals and may change with age. While it is most commonly associated with childhood, some adults continue to experience symptoms. Hyperactivity can impact various aspects of life, including academic performance, social interactions, and occupational functioning. It can make it difficult to concentrate, complete tasks, and follow instructions.

The exact causes of hyperactivity are not fully understood but are believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors that affect brain development and function. Diagnosis of ADHD involves a comprehensive evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional, considering patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Treatment often involves a multi-faceted approach, which may include behavioral therapy, educational support, and, in some cases, medication. Management strategies aim to help individuals develop coping mechanisms and improve their ability to regulate their behavior.
