There is no proof that social disorders like ADHD/ADD are genetically deterministic. Which is why the diagnosis relies solely on social observations rather than biological tests. That is of course not to say that drugs can't enhance desired brain functions.

The challenge undoubtedly will not only be in identifying risk factors but more importantly testing causal mechanisms. Again, there is no proof, only hypothesis. This is in stark contrast with actual biological pathologies which have proven genetic causes, such as sickle cell anemia.
