Abstract:
Cognitive-adaptive disabilities (CADs) are not frequently seen in the general pediatric setting. Yet, given the high rates of comorbidity in that population, they commonly demand a lot of time and effort on the part of clinicians. One aspect of comorbidity is the degree to which psychiatric disorders occur in children, adolescents, and young adults with CADs. This article reviews the epidemiology, associated psychopathology, and pharmacologic treatment of selected CADs.
