Question: They say ADHD runs in families. Does this mean we are performing genetic testing? 
  
  Is there a movement to use the new CRISPR technology to reduce or minimize ADHD behavior and symptoms in patients as a permanent long term solution?
Answer: Genes are clearly involved in causing ADHD but environmental causes also exist.  As of now, genetic testing is not useful for diagnosing ADHD.  That may be possible in the future.  It is something my lab is working on.
