Several conditions benefit significantly from early diagnosis, including:
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): Early identification of ASD allows for early behavioral interventions, which can improve social, communication, and learning skills. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Early diagnosis can help manage symptoms through behavior therapy and medication. Congenital Heart Defects: Early detection through prenatal screening or newborn examination can lead to timely surgical interventions. Metabolic Disorders: Conditions like phenylketonuria (PKU) can be managed effectively if diagnosed through newborn screening tests.
