Does Mental retardation require psychiatric treatment?
Mental Retardation is actually considered a developmental disorder and has recently been changed to the term "IDD" (Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities). The answer to your questions is "yes." Of course, mental retardation can be mild, moderate, or severe. I often have a visual for parents and caregivers to understand mental retardation or IDD better. Think of Down Syndrome as being at the very top of a scale, Severe MR or IDD following, Moderate IDD or MR, and then Mild IDD or MR. In cases of severe MR or Down Syndrome, psychiatric treatment may be required, especially if the individual sufferer struggles with impulse control, delusions or hallucinations, poor mood regulation, improper boundaries, or oppositional behaviors.
