Hyperactivity in Children

Hyperactivity in children presents as ADHD-like symptoms including increased motor activity, difficulty concentrating, and impulsiveness, potentially affecting social and academic well-being. This side effect can be difficult to distinguish from age-appropriate behaviors.

Hyperactivity in children, also known as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)-like symptoms, manifests as increased motor activity, difficulty concentrating, impulsiveness, and excessive talking. It can present as restlessness, fidgeting, difficulty staying seated, interrupting others, and difficulty following instructions. The reported experiences vary, and the intensity can fluctuate. It can be difficult to assess in children because age appropriate behavior can sometimes resemble hyperactive behavior. This side effect can potentially impact a child's social interactions, academic performance, and overall well-being.
