Hyperactive thyroid is also known as hyperthyroidism. This is where the thyroid produces too much thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which causes ADHD related symptoms and a racy metabolism. If left untreated with a TSH blood test or otherwise, it will lead to some health issues, most notably heart and bone issues.
