Actor-comedian Patrick McKenna spent five years working on two shows at the same time. He worked seven days a week and attributes his success during that period, in part, to Attention Deficit Disorder. Now, hes teaming up with filmmaker Rick Green on a new documentary, ADD and Loving It?!

The hour-long program ... has McKenna posing questions about the disorder that are answered by experts in an effort to debunk myths," the Canadian Press reported. "The film brings a humorous approach to an often weighty issue, partly because of the duos comedic background and view of the world, but also in an effort not to add fears about the disorder, Green said."

Green told the Canadian Press that he got the idea for the documentary after he had been diagnosed with ADD himself. Not only did the diagnosis explain some of his behavior, but it helped him put structures in place to better handle some of the negative effects of ADD.
