That's a poor analogy. The mind is the organ we know littlest about. Why would you stick something in your body if you don't know completely how it's going to react?

While you could make the argument that ADD is a genetic disorder, you could equally make the argument that it's a developed disorder.

The mind is a collection of pathways optimized for what you learn, or repetitive tasks. Much like learning how to snowboard, your mind doesn't know what to do at first. Eventually it develops the "proper" neural pathways through constant practice and will remember how to snowboard, as an impulse. It could easily be that this inability to focus and see one thing through is a learned behavior.

If you read that link... although ritalin helps, it doesn't help for the long term.
