This article from the US National Library of Medicine showcases what Hyperhidrosis is, how it is caused, and some possible treatments. Topics include thermoregulatory sweating and emotional sweating, the pathophysiology of Hyperhidrosis, and the differentiation between primary and secondary Hyperhidrosis.
