Abstract

BACKGROUND: People with intellectual disability (ID) frequently suffer from somatic and psychiatric comorbidity Somatic morbidity can be the cause and the result of mental health problems. Timely diagnosis and interdisciplinary management are essential for optimal health, development and quality of life. AIM: To improve interdisciplinary cooperation of professionals involved in care for patients with ID, with emphasis on prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment of somatic comorbidity. METHOD: Literature review and expert opinion. RESULTS: Epidemiology diagnostics, and treatment of somatic comorbidity in patients with ID are discussed. Additionally, roles and responsibilities of involved professionals are addressed. CONCLUSION: Somatic comorbidity is highly prevalent in patients with ID. People with ID should be regularly screened for somatic comorbidity, and re-evaluated in case of behavioral changes. Where available, an ID physician can be included in the interdisciplinary care team.
