Persistent restlessness may stem from psychological factors—such as excessive life stress or emotional tension—or autonomic nervous system dysfunction. However, thyroid disorders should not be ruled out as a potential cause. In daily life, it is important to relax the mind and avoid excessive mental strain; listening to soothing music may help alleviate symptoms. If necessary, neurotrophic medications—such as oryzanol—may be prescribed for treatment.
