Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) both generate significant controversy in terms of diagnosis and treatment. ADD is often debated due to its subjective diagnosis criteria and the potential over-reliance on medication, raising concerns about overdiagnosis and the long-term effects of stimulants. Similarly, autism is controversial regarding its spectrum nature, the effectiveness of various treatments, and the debate surrounding early intervention versus acceptance of neurodiversity. Both conditions highlight the complexities of mental health and learning disabilities in society.
