What is Hyperkinetic Disorder?

Hyperkinetic Disorder is a chronic condition characterized by attention difficulty, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. It often begins in childhood and can cause a child to have trouble in school, at home, or with friends. Causes may include genetics, head injury, exposure to environmental risks (e.g., lead) during pregnancy or at a young age, alcohol and tobacco use during pregnancy, premature delivery, and low birth weight. It is more common in male children.

Typical Symptoms of Hyperkinetic Disorder

Diagnostic Questions for Hyperkinetic Disorder

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Are you more restless and does it affect your movement or speech?
  • Are you having trouble concentrating lately?
  • Do you feel easily frustrated or irritable?
  • Do you feel you have a short temper?
  • Have you noticed or been told that you are acting strangely or differently lately?

Treatment of Hyperkinetic Disorder

Various treatments such as medications, behavior therapy, counseling, and education services can help improve the child's symptoms and behavior. Some grow out of the disorder as adults, while others continue treatment.
