Kryteria diagnostyczne zaburzeń psychicznych dla dorosłych osób z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną w klasyfikacji DC–LD

Diagnosing people with intellectual disability and additional mental health difficulties can be challenging. This paper looks at the current classifications of mental health disorders in the population with intellectual disability. Specifically designed for this population, the DC-LD (Diagnostic Criteria for Psychiatric Disorder for use with adults with Learning Disabilities/Mental Retardation) classification system is almost unknown in Poland. Therefore, our aim is to focus on this classification system in order to help physicians and psychologists who work with adult patients with intellectual disability.
