I had never heard of such a thing, so I decided to share some info.

If you or someone you know flips out way way way too much, like all of the time, it may be genetic. There is a test to find out.

This nasty little gene is a troublemaker. It actually has a name.

The name is Monoamine oxidase A gene (MAOA) has earned the nickname “warrior gene” because it has been linked to aggression in observational and survey-based studies. Here’s a link to the studies.
