So, you haven&#x27;t actually heard it from the doctors?  Because (especially in the UK) any prescribing doctor talking about chemical imbalance for ADHD in children is incompetent.<p>&gt; Here in the UK the diagnosing psychiatrist is also the one that the child must return to twice a year for a checkup at 500 pounds per visit.<p>This is false.  All treatment is available for free on the NHS.
