title: 'Doctor, is my child hyperactive?'.
abstract: Hyperactivity is a childhood behavioral disorder which may be due to emotional problems, developmental lags, high-normal energy levels or a combination of these factors. It may also occur as part of the syndrome of minimal brain dysfunction. Appropriate treatment depends on successful determination of the etiology. While drugs can be of appreciable benefit, treatment must also include professional support and education for the child and his family.
