Lancet study sez: ADHD is a genetic condition
Short Attention Span Theater seemed to be the most appropriate for this article.

For those who are unaware: You probably have ADHD if you can't focus long enough to read an average-size paragraph without interruption. >:-}
The Lancet study finds that children with ADHD have more large, rare copy-number variants than children without the condition. "Copy-number variants" are pieces of DNA that are either missing or extraneous in the chromosomes. Other studies have suggested that these variants may be associated with schizophrenia, autism, epilepsy, and other neurodevelopmental disorders.
Oh look! A buffet!
It's The Lancet, which published those absurd studies claiming obscenely large imaginary numbers of Iraqis dead as a result of the 2003 invasion, and the other one claiming autism is caused by vaccine preservatives. I'll wait until a reputable medical journal confirms these results.
