Treating depression in an adolescent with intellectual disability.
J Pak Psych Soc Jan ;11(2):39-41.

Individuals with intellectual disability have been shown to suffer from affective disorders at a higher rate than the general population. Effective treatment of mood disorders in those with intellectual disabilities has not been well documented in the literature, and particularly not with psychological modalities or in adolescents. Here we report the treatment course of a 14-year old girl with intellectual disability and depression.
