Hyperkinetic disorders - what does this mean

Hyperkinetic disorders are a group of neurological conditions characterized by excessive motor activity, difficulty in concentration, impulsiveness, and difficulty in controlling behavior. these disorders are caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and biological factors, such as an imbalance in certain neurotransmitters in the brain.

What happens during the disease - hyperkinetic disorders

Hyperkinetic disorders are caused by an imbalance in the brain's neurotransmitters, particularly dopamine and norepinephrine. this imbalance leads to an increase in motor activity, impulsivity, and difficulty focusing, and can be exacerbated by environmental factors such as stress, poor nutrition, and lack of sleep.
