ADHD overstimulation occurs when an individual with ADHD becomes overwhelmed by sensory input or mental stimuli. This can lead to feelings of anxiety, irritability, or distress. Overstimulation may result from loud noises, bright lights, crowded spaces, or complex tasks. It can cause difficulty focusing, restlessness, or emotional outbursts. Managing overstimulation involves identifying triggers, creating calming environments, and using coping strategies like relaxation techniques or breaks.
