Abstract:People with intellectual disability (ID) have a greater frequency of psychiatric illnesses, ranging from 10% to 80%, as compared to the general population. It has been proven that mood stabilizers are beneficial in the management of behavior issues in people with ID. Here, we report a series of five cases with mild and moderate ID with behavioral disturbances including mood and psychotic symptoms managed successfully with sodium valproate as the part of the treatment.
