Hypoactivity

Hypoactivity, also known as hypolocomotion, locomotor hypoactivity, or decreased locomotor activity, is an inhibition of behavioral or locomotor activity.^[1]

Hypoactivity is a characteristic effect of sedative agents and many centrally acting anesthetics. Other drugs such as antipsychotics, which are used to treat delusions and hallucination (symptoms of psychosis),^[2] and mCPP also produce this effect, often as a side effect.

It may be a characteristic symptom of the inattentive type of ADHD^[3] (ADHD-PI) and sluggish cognitive tempo.
