Abstract

Introduction: In addition to cognitive problems, mentally retarded individuals have MENTAL DISORDERS. In recent years, behavioral scientists, especially psychiatrists and MENTAL RETARDATION specialists have focused on the relationship between MENTAL DISORDERS and MENTAL RETARDATION. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of MENTAL DISORDERS among mildly and borderline mentally retarded individuals in vocational habilitation centers in the city of Isfahan.Methods: The sample of this study consisted of 100 mentally retarded adolescents and adults including 58 males and 45 females. These individuals were randomly selected. The frequency of MENTAL DISORDERS was evaluated among the subjects using "self-report" and "rating by others" forms of Matson's Psychopathological Inventory for Mentally Retarded Adults (PIMRA). Data were analyzed using percentile rank, multivariate analyses and Pearson correlation coefficient.Results: MENTAL DISORDERS were relatively prevalent among mentally retarded individuals. These disorders occurred at higher rates in mentally retarded women than men. The results also showed a relationship between intelligence quotient and all of the subscales in the self-report form.Discussion: This study showed that the rate of MENTAL DISORDERS is relatively high among mentally retarded individuals, especially women. This indicates that in addition to MENTAL RETARDATION, mentally retarded individuals can be challenged by MENTAL DISORDERS. Therefore specialists should pay greater attention to other problems of these individuals, including MENTAL DISORDERS.
