“People with attention deficits have difficulty focusing and often display compulsive behavior. The new study suggests these symptoms could be due to dysfunction in a gene—ErbB4—that helps different brain regions communicate. The gene is a known risk factor for psychiatric disorders, and is required to maintain healthy neurotransmitter levels in the brain.”

I know somebody with a.d. disorder. They’re doing quite well in life financially anyway. But they’re a workaholic so maybe that’s the compulsive side of things.
