Abstract

Persons with Intellectual Disability (ID) have a higher incidence of mental health disorders compared to the general population. This article aims to provide practical approaches as well as clinical pointers to the assessment and treatment of common psychiatric conditions such as depression and anxiety disorders in persons with ID. It is hoped that these can help inform and be adopted into family practice settings, to increase accessibility and improve on the care available to this special population.
