The issue of diagnosing mental disorders remains controversial and for good reason; on the one hand diagnosis provides a relatively reliable and simple way to arrive at decisions and treatments when it comes to mental disorders, but on the other hand, it can lead to further complications and the possibility of arriving at incorrect conclusions.

Diagnosing mental disorders today remains controversial. Diagnosis provides a relatively reliable and simple way to arrive at decisions and treatments. On the other hand, it can lead to further complications - the possibility of arriving at incorrect conclusions.
Your writing was too wordy.

No, of course not. It is really three sentences, not just one. It needs a period after "reason" ; a capital "O" for "on", a period after "disorders" and a capital "B" for "but". (the word "hand" in the third sentence may be omitted)
By the way, there is no "e" in grammar.

the "on the other hand" is correct

It looks correct grammatically to me. I don't see anything amiss.
