Hyperactivity
Hyperactivity is sometimes referred to as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or A.D.H.D. This is a disorder that primarily affects the nervous systems of children. The results are learning and behavior problems. There are many factors associated with this disorder including oxygen deprivation, artificial food additives, lead poisoning, allergies, prenatal trauma and an excessively low-protein diet. Hyperactivity can be characterized by many behaviors including head knocking, lack of concentration, inability to finish tasks, clumsiness, emotional instability, and forgetfulness. Not all symptoms will be seen in an individual with the condition. Although this is primarily a childhood disorder, adults may be affected as well.
