“…This sub‐scale's internal consistency, test–retest reliability and inter‐rater reliability are good (α = 0.88, ICC = 0.86 and ICC = 0.74) and its validity is satisfactory (sensitivity 80–82% and specificity 65–78%) in older people with ID (Hermans et al . ). The score on the general anxiety sub‐scale ranges from 0 to 21.…”

Increased anxiety symptoms and diabetes are related in older people with ID. This association may be bidirectional. No other associations of depression and anxiety symptoms with cardiovascular risk factors could be proven to be significant. Therefore, more research is needed to unravel the mechanisms of stress, mood disorders and cardiovascular disease in older people with ID. To provide comprehensive care for older people with ID, screening for diabetes and components of the metabolic syndrome in people with anxiety or mood disorders, and screening for symptoms of anxiety or depression in people with diabetes is warranted.

“…The total ADAMS has been completed for all participants, but only the score on the general anxiety subscale has been used. The internal consistency ( α = 0.88), test–retest reliability (ICC = 0.86), interrater reliability (ICC = 0.74) and validity (sensitivity 80%–82%, specificity 65%–78%) of this subscale are sufficient using a cut‐off score of ≥10 for participants with no autism and ≥14 for participants with an autistic spectrum disorder (Hermans et al ., ). In addition to the ADAMS, participants who were capable of self‐report were interviewed with the Glasgow Anxiety Scale for people with an Intellectual Disability (GAS‐ID) (Mindham and Espie, ) and the anxiety subscale of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS‐A) (Zigmond and Snaith, ).…”

“…The Dutch translation of the ADAMS consists of a four-factor structure: depressive mood, anxiety, social avoidance, and other problems. The validity and reliability of this structure was investigated in two Dutch samples, one sample older than 50 years of age (N = 198) and one adult sample below 50 years of age (N = 975), 13,15 and was found to be fair to good. Higher scores on (sub) scales are indicative of more anxiety or negative mood.…”

Both depression and anxiety disorders are relatively common psychiatric disorders in patients with epilepsy. Pooled prevalence rates in this population are estimated at 22.9% and 20.2%, 1 which is much higher when compared to the prevalence of depression and anxiety disorders worldwide (4.4% and 3.6%). 2 Although epilepsy relatively often co-occurs with intellectual disability (ID), 3 literature on the presence of mood disorders among patients with both epilepsy and ID is scarce. Knowledge of this relationship is important as it might influence quality of life in these patients.Depressive and anxiety symptoms can be associated with epilepsy for multiple reasons. They may have the same underlying neurobiological aetiology 4 or result from epilepsy due to seizure-related or psychosocial factors, such as increased dependence, experienced stigma, and poor seizure control. 5,6 Results from a systematic review indicate that having an epilepsy diagnosis is associated with an increase of depressive symptoms in adults with ID and that a severe Objective: Depression and anxiety symptoms are common among patients with epilepsy, but are relatively under-researched in patients with both epilepsy and intellectual disability (ID). The aim was to investigate whether epilepsy and ID characteristics are associated with mood, anxiety, and quality of life. Materials and Methods:Adult patients with epilepsy and ID who rely on tertiary epilepsy care were included (N = 189). Mood, anxiety, and quality of life were assessed by standardized questionnaires. Epilepsy and ID characteristics were retrieved from patient charts or determined by psychometric instruments.Results: Elevated levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms were present in 21.7% and 12.7%, respectively. Anxiety was significantly associated with a focal epilepsy type and ID domain discrepancy (substantial difference between two domains of adaptive behavior), but was negatively related to seizure frequency and drug load of mood-stabilizing antiepileptic drugs. Depressive symptoms were not significantly related to epilepsy characteristics, but a severe ID and ID domain discrepancy was associated with more depressive symptoms. Quality of life was significantly worse in those with multiple seizure types and ID domain discrepancy. Conclusion:Whereas anxiety and quality of life are associated with individual epilepsy characteristics, this could not be confirmed for depressive symptoms in patients with epilepsy and ID, despite its high prevalence.
