“…Symptoms of comorbid psychopathology were measured using the Diagnostic Assessment for the Severely Handicapped-II (DASH-II; Matson 1995). The DASH-II is an informant-based instrument developed specifically for use with individuals with severe and profound ID.…”

“…Mean internal consistency of the DASH-II subscales was approximately a = 0.51 suggesting that subscales may measure heterogeneous symptom clusters. Internal consistency of DASH-II total score was found to be a = 0.87 (Matson 1995;Paclawskyj et al 1997). Several subscales of the DASH-II have been validated (i.e., Mania, PDD/ Autism, Schizophrenia; Bamburg et al 2001;Matson and Smiroldo 1997;Matson et al 1998).…”

“…Because of this, researchers and clinicians have pushed for the development of alternative conceptualizations of psychiatric conditions that commonly occur with ID. Subsequently, measures of comorbid psychopathology, such as the Diagnostic Assessment for the Severely Handicapped (DASH), were developed and designed specifically for use with this population (Bradley et al 2004;Matson 1995).…”

Evidence-based treatment must begin with the systematic and comprehensive identification of an individual's complete clinical picture. Therefore, screening individuals with intellectual disability (ID) for comorbid disorders is imperative. Because of the frequent overlap between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and ID, the current study explored the effects of co-occurring ASD on the comorbid symptoms exhibited by adults with ID. The study included 307 adults with severe or profound ID separated into two groups: ASD+ID and ID only. The ASD+ID group exhibited significantly more symptomology on eight of the 12 subscales examined including anxiety, mania, schizophrenia, stereotypies/tics, self-injurious behavior, eating disorders, sexual disorders, and impulse control. Further, comparisons of specific symptom endorsements yielded distinct results.

“…One measure has been specifically designed to evaluate emotional disturbances in individuals with severe and profound disabilities, the Diagnostic Assessment for the Severely Handicapped II (DASH-II) [43]. Informants are asked to rate frequency, duration and severity of symptoms related to 13 diagnostic categories based on DSM-III-R.…”

While the idea that individuals with developmental disabilities (DD) can suffer from mental illness has been largely accepted since the late 1980's, this is still an underserved and poorly studied population. In particular, mood disorders have traditionally been misdiagnosed, under-recognized and poorly treated. Through the years, reported rates of mood disorders in adults with DD have varied widely. Recent epidemiological studies have focused on community samples and find rates of mood disorders from 3 to 8.1%. Mood disorders are found to be more prevalent than psychotic disorders or anxiety disorders. The empirical literature on assessment of mood symptoms in adults with DD is limited, particularly in individuals with severe and profound DD. Several tools have been developed to assist in identification and diagnosis. However, the work on their psychometric properties and validity studies is still quite limited. The treatment literature is sparse and focused primarily on pharmacotherapy. This review considers the epidemiology and diagnosis of mood disorders in individuals with DD. Recent developments in assessment are reviewed. The literature regarding pharmacological treatment with antidepressants, mood stabilizers, electroconvulsive therapy and antipsychotics is summarized and the current state of psychological treatments for mood disorders in persons with DD is presented. Implications for clinical care and future research are considered.

“…Authors have also called for the investigation of Axis I comorbidity in individuals with ID including schizophrenia (Morgan, Leonard, Bourke, & Jablensky, 2008), MDD (Ailey, 2009;Lunsky & Palucka, 2004;Morin, Rivard, Cobigo, & Lé pine, 2010), manic symptoms (Gonzá lez & Matson, 2006), anxiety disorders (Hagopian & Jennet, 2008), antisocial personality disorder (Morrissey & Hollin, 2011), and general psychopathology (Matson, 1995;Taylor & Novaco, 2013;Wieland, Wardenaar, Fontein, & Zitman, 2012). Establishing the psychometrics of the PIMRA-II will allow researchers to further investigate the topic of comorbid psychopathology in individuals with ID.…”
