Hyperactivity

Characterised by excessive physical movement, restlessness, and difficulty sitting still. It is a core symptom of ADHD but can also be present in other conditions or as a response to environmental factors. Behavioural interventions and, in some cases, medication can help manage hyperactivity and improve daily functioning.
