Hyperactivity

Symptoms of hyperactivity may be apparent in very young preschoolers and are nearly always present before the age of seven.

Symptoms include:

• Fidgeting, squirming when seated
• Getting up frequently to walk or run around
• Running or climbing excessively when it’s inappropriate (in teens this may appear as restlessness)
• Having difficulty playing quietly or engaging in quiet leisure activities
• Being always on the go
• Often talking excessively
