I'm definitely concerned about where this might head. Even the idea of early diagnosis is problematic as it carries with it all the baggage of mental health diagnostics---disorders defined by committee, lack of objectivity and reliability, lack of apparent physical reality backing up many disorders.
Much of what we call mental health diagnosis can actually be reinterpreted as institutionalized societal judgments of non-conforming behaviors. The fact that (in my personal experience and the experience of many others) "treatment" often directly inhibits recovery makes an enhanced diagnosis->treatment pipeline a frightening thing indeed.
