H1: Hyperactivity in Adults with ADHD: Managing Restlessness

Introduction

While hyperactivity is often associated with children, adults with ADHD can also experience this symptom. In adulthood, hyperactivity tends to manifest as inner restlessness or an inability to relax, which can impact both personal and professional life. At Adhdmind, our clinic helps adults in Ireland and Northern Ireland understand and manage this symptom through comprehensive assessments and personalized care.

What Is Hyperactivity in Adults?

Hyperactivity in adults may not always look like the fidgeting or running around that’s common in children. Instead, adults might feel a constant sense of inner restlessness, or the need to keep moving or doing something.

Signs of Hyperactivity in Adults

• Restlessness: Feeling constantly on edge or as if you need to be doing something.
• Inability to Relax: Struggling to sit still during quiet times or feeling uncomfortable during periods of inactivity.
• Fidgeting: Tapping your feet, biting your nails, or other restless behaviors in social or professional settings.

How Hyperactivity Affects Daily Life

Adults with ADHD may find it difficult to relax, even when they’re at home or in comfortable surroundings. This restlessness can make it hard to enjoy downtime, which leads to stress and exhaustion. In social settings, this symptom can make it difficult to engage in calm, quiet conversations, which can strain relationships.

How to Manage Hyperactivity

At Adhdmind, we use structured assessments to understand the severity of hyperactivity in your life. Treatment plans may involve relaxation techniques, mindfulness practices, and lifestyle changes that help manage restlessness. In some cases, medication may also be prescribed to help reduce hyperactivity and improve focus.
