Attention-deficit disorders may be the spark behind creative geniuses such as Byron, Picasso and even Kurt Cobain, claims a psychiatrist.

Professor Michael Fitzgerald believes people with ADHD have the ability to "hyper-focus" on things of interest.

The Trinity College Dublin academic said lives of high achievers such as Jules Verne and Mark Twain seemed to suggest the disorder.

However, a psychologist said only mild ADHD could possibly offer a benefit.

ADHD is generally regarded as a disadvantage in life, with its characteristic traits of inattentiveness leading to problems at school and home. - bbc

However, Professor Fitzgerald told the annual meeting of the Royal College of Psychiatry's Faculty of Academic Psychiatry that it could actually prove an advantage.
