Hyperactive behavior is characterized by excessive movement, restlessness, and difficulty controlling impulses. It's often associated with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), but can also occur due to other factors such as sleep deprivation, anxiety, or certain medical conditions.
Common signs of hyperactive behavior include:
- Constant fidgeting and squirming: It can be difficult for someone exhibiting hyperactive behavior to sit still, and they may constantly move their legs, hands, or feet.
- Difficulty staying focused: They may have trouble concentrating on tasks or conversations, becoming easily distracted by their surroundings.
- Impulsivity: Acting without thinking, blurting out answers, interrupting others, and struggling to wait their turn are common signs of impulsivity.
- Excessive talking: They might talk excessively, often interrupting others or changing topics abruptly.
- Restlessness: They may frequently change activities, find it hard to relax, and feel agitated or on edge.
While hyperactive behavior is a symptom of ADHD, it is important to consult a medical professional for diagnosis and treatment.
