Yes
Edit: I also hear it frequently from parents of children who have been referred to psychiatrists by their schoolteachers for (in my opinion at least) fairly minor disruptive behaviour in class; they are repeating what the psychiatrists tell them. The psychiatrists also quote statistics like &quot;half of Swedish inmates are adhd, so if you don&#x27;t    treat your child&#x27;s adhd there&#x27;s a good chance he&#x27;ll end up a criminal (yes really). 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.
