Talk:Hyperactivity

message: There is a lot of redundant information between the Wiki articles ADHD, AADD, Hyperfocus, and Hyperactivity.  Ostensibly these articles all regard the same topic, albeit in different formats and from different points of view.  I think some more thought needs to go into the relation between these concepts.  Many people might regard one or all of these analyses to be completely made-up bullshit, or psychiatric doublespeak.  There is a lot of skepticism out there toward the institutional psychiatric approach to these problems; and psychiatry is very skeptical of alternate hypotheses as well.  Perhaps we need to have a discussion of how best to present all of these topics to the lay person, so they too can input their POV and balance out the equation.  oneismany 13:25, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Explicating the relationship among ADHD, AADD, Hyperfocus, Hyperactivity on Wikipedia? 

message: I recommend that the information in the ADHD article about the genetic trait known as 'hyperactivity' should be merged into the 'Hyperactivity' article, to distinguish this information from the psychiatric diagnosis that identifies 'ADHD' as a mental disorder.  Information from the 'Controversy' section that is not ADHD specific should go there too.  Discussion?  oneismany 07:25, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge 'Controversy' section in ADHD article with 'Hyperactivity' article?

message: I wonder if some of the claims made in this article are a bit bold, given the dearth of references to support them. I'm not suggesting the claims are right or wrong... only that they need support from published studies or books, or else alternative theories that have been published in some way other than just websites. It could probably be a bit more robust as well, and I also support the earlier comments about coordinating it with related articles. MLHarris 15:05, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Try dissolving 1/2-1 ml sodium benzoate in a glass of water and drink it. I tried it a few times and it makes me blushy, strongly irritable and hyperactive as hell. It induced a fit of rage(never tried that before) so that I nearly got into a fight with my bank advisor LOL. It's not pleasant. I know original research is not allowed but try this little experiment if you're in doubt that there is a connection between soda additives such as benzoic acid and hyperactivity.

thread_title:   Sodium benzoate definitely has potential for causing hyperactivity 

message: The entirety of the hyperactivity article appears to be dedicated to debunking the idea that sugar causes hyperactivity. Information about hyperactivity's (actual) causes, symptoms, etc. appear to be missing. I'm not an expert but this article answered none of my questions.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.96.53.243 (talk) 02:42, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

message: This article is pretty much a WP:COATRACK for Feingold diet which already has its own article.  DIetary factors are addressed in the ADHD article already. I redirected this to ADHD Jytdog (talk) 02:59, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
