What Does HKS Stand For?
HKS stands for HyperKinetic Syndrome
HKS, or HyperKinetic Syndrome, is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by excessive levels of motor activity and impulsivity. It often manifests as hyperactivity, inattention, and difficulties in self-regulation, affecting a child’s ability to focus and interact socially. HKS is commonly associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and may require comprehensive behavioral interventions and, in some cases, medication to manage symptoms effectively. Early diagnosis and tailored support are crucial for improving outcomes in individuals with this condition.
