Abstract:
Intellectual disability (intellectual developmental disorder) (ID/IDD) is both a psychiatric disorder and a risk factor for co-occurring psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents. DSM-5 introduced important changes in the conceptualization and diagnosis of ID/IDD, and current research studies clarify assessment and treatment of co-occurring psychiatric disorders in this population. Optimal assessment and treatment of psychiatric illness in children and adolescents with ID/IDD includes modifications in diagnostic and treatment techniques, appreciation of variations in the clinical presentation of psychiatric disorders, an understanding of the spectrum of etiologies of behavioral disturbance, and knowledge of psychosocial and medical interventions.
