Psychotropic medication has a discrete but valuable role in the treatment of psychiatric problems of young people with intellectual handicap. This review argues in favour of the responsible use of psychotropic medication in the management of these problems and describes some of the complexities of psychiatric assessment in this population. Two clinical cases are presented. The first illustrates how helpful psychotropic medication can be. The second illustrates some of the difficulties in diagnosis. This review considers the complexity of biopsychosocial assessment, the limitations of diagnoses and some guidelines for treatment and prescribing. A brief overview of drug groups is provided. The result is a guide to a contentious subject which addresses issues of uncertainty in assessment, diagnosis, causal mechanisms, pharmacology, consent and evaluation in the context of alternative approaches.

Our findings support previous studies demonstrating that children and adolescents with multiple episodes per year present a higher comorbidity and require more hospitalizations and pharmacological treatment than those without multiple episodes. The diagnosis and treatment of children and adolescents with BD will have to take into account the high comorbidity of ADD mainly in children and adolescents with multiple episodes. Future prospective studies will help to better characterize the impact of multiple episodes in the course of pediatric BD and facilitate appropriate treatment strategies.
