Mental Health and Dual Diagnosis Support

Specialist support for mental health conditions in people with intellectual disability.

Understanding Mental Health and Dual Diagnosis Support

Dual diagnosis means intellectual disability plus a mental health condition. Mental health conditions in people with intellectual disability are often unrecognised. Yet with appropriate support, mental health improves significantly.

  • Mental health conditions often missed in people with intellectual disability
  • Depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and psychosis can occur
  • Communication difficulties making diagnosis complex
  • Severe suffering if mental health condition goes untreated
  • Yet with proper diagnosis and treatment, mental health improves significantly

Recognising and treating mental health conditions in dual diagnosis dramatically improves wellbeing and functioning.
