Many things: Is this a chronic or recent issue? This could be due to attention deficit disorder but also due to schizophrenia-like conditions or being manic. It could be caused by drugs (caffeine, amphetamines, lsd, ketamine, various pharmaceuticals). Could be related to aluminum, mercury, lead or other metals & environmental toxins or due to lyme disease, viral meningitis etc. See a good dr. For evaluation.
