Some researchers have argued that MADD should be dropped as a diagnosis category. They argue that MADD is associated with fewer remissions and a higher risk of developing into syndromal disorders. However, a number of studies that are based on retrospective clinical data suggest that this view is too simplistic and needs to undergo more thorough examination.
