Hypervigilance: Symptoms and treatment
Last reviewed Thu 7 September 2017
By Lana Burgess   
 
Hypervigilance is a state of heightened alertness accompanied by behavior that aims to prevent danger. But what are its main symptoms and how can it be treated?

People may mistake hypervigilance for paranoia, as a person experiencing hypervigilance may exhibit some behavior that seems paranoid. However, there are differences between these conditions.

My experience with my son and his friends is that, even years out of the military, they are hyper aware of their surroundings and they are vigilant about the safety of their home and family.
