Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this review was to identify and describe epidemiological and prevalence reports of psychopathology in persons with intellectual disability (ID). Thirty-five studies were identified and summarized according to psychopathology, diagnostic assessment tool, functioning level, age, gender, and place of residence. The need for research on prevalence estimates of psychopathology in persons with ID that accounts for common problems, such as sampling bias due to self-selection and difficulty in making reliable and valid psychiatric assessment and diagnoses, is discussed.
