Establishing a diagnosis of mental health disorder in a person with ID is often a quite complex undertaking, due to the variety of symptoms they may exhibit and the fact that their symptoms may differ from typical symptoms seen in the general population (Fletcher, [E. Loschen], Stavrakaki, & First, 2007). Amongst persons with mild to moderate ID, classic diagnostic criteria are relatively reliable, as these persons may possess the skills required to report depressive symptoms (McBrien, 2003; McGillivray & McCabe, 2007; Ross & Oliver, 2003). However, persons with ID constitute a highly heterogeneous group, and the difficulty of establishing a reliable diagnosis of depressive disorder increases as the cognitive and verbal communication skills necessary to express thoughts and ...

Unfortunately, the social prejudice and stigma toward the one in five of us with mental illness continues. The inadequacies of our mental health system persist, in spite of the many dedicated mental health-care professionals. Calls for the criminalization of those victim to mental illness itself have resurfaced stronger than ever. So, why is it that so many people seem not to comprehend that the brain can malfunction just like any other organ in the body through no fault of the person? But on the other hand, society has, in fact, come to understand Alzheimer's as an illness of the brain, Parkinson's disease as a neurobiological brain illness, and intellectual disability as not the person's fault. We must establish more early detection and intervention clinics. We must create provincial ...
Les personnes qui présentent une déficience intellectuelle (DI) sont plus susceptibles que les personnes sans DI d'avoir des comportements problématiques (Dekker, Koot, Van der Ende & Verhulst, 2002; Einfeld et al., 2006; Rojahn & Tassé, 1996). Les grandes catégories de comportements problématiques sont l'agression envers autrui, G automutilation, la destruction et autres comportements difficiles ou perturbateurs (Lowe et al., 2007). Il n'existe pas de consensus clair sur la définition de «trouble du comportement » (Emerson, 2001; Thompson, McGrew & Bruininks, 1999).
