Comments about Presentation

• We have a discussion panel following this, which is a great time to ask more involved questions. Please ask if a slide needs clarification.

• Most of the data for the many studies presented are based in the DSM-IV not the DSM-5.

• Nearly all of this presentation is based on other people’s hard work. Please see the slide-by-slide Reference Handout provided today. Readability of slides was my main goal for this PPT.

Working Assumptions

• Individuals with Dual Diagnosis are INDIVIDUALS

• Seeing persons with DD as anything other than entire persons leads us astray

• Individuals, Providers and Caregivers are doing the best they can on a daily basis

• Looking at available, high quality research data provides an anchor in decision making

• There is a lack of this data across the spectrum of persons with ID as well as persons with PD and especially for those with both, DD.

• Yet, progress is being made

Defining Dual Diagnosis (? + ? = DD)

• Intellectual disability in DSM-5 involves mental impairments that affect adaptive functioning in three domains impacting completion of everyday tasks: – Conceptual domain: skills in language, reading,

writing, math, reasoning, knowledge, and memory.– Social domain: “empathy, social judgment,

interpersonal communication skills, the ability to make and retain friendships, and similar capacities.”

– Practical domain: “self-management in areas such as personal care, job responsibilities, money management, recreation, and organizing school and work tasks.”

• http://www.dsm5.org/documents/intellectual%20disability%20fact%20sheet.pdf

10


• Psychiatric Disability/Disorder: Clinically significant disturbance in cognitive, emotional regulation, and behavior that represents a disturbance in mental functioning that leads to struggles with work, school, family or other social arenas. (DSM 5, American Psychiatric Association, 2013, p.20)

• Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Intellectual Disabilities + Communication Disorders + Autism Spectrum Disorder + AD/HD + Specific Learning Disorder + Motor Disorders + Other Neurodevelopmental Disorders

• Basically: PD= All DSM 5 diagnoses – some Neurodevelopmental Disorders but keeping others

• Now, you know why everyone is so confused

11


• "Dual diagnosis is a conceptualization of comorbidity in adults with an intellectual disability. Co-morbidity refers to the presence of at least two distinct and separate disabilities or pathologies in the same individual. First utilized in the US during the 1970s, dual diagnosis was used to describe mental health problems in adults with an intellectual disability. The term dual diagnosis specifically refers to coexisting intellectual disability and mental disorder.“

• Dual Diagnosis= ID +/- Autism + other DSM 5 non-Neurodevelopmental Disorders

12





13

Defining Problem Behaviors AKA Challenging Behaviors (PB/CB)• People with intellectual disabilities are at higher risk for

developing behavior problems. • Studies have reported that 7–15% of individuals with ID

who receive services have severe behavior problems. Thus, 85–93% of people with ID do not show severe behavior problems, regardless of what level of their ID.

• Types of PB/CB are: “aggression towards others, temper tantrums, screaming or shouting, and self-injury”

• “Several authors have suggested that behavior problems may be indicators of psychiatric disorders in individuals with intellectual disability”

• There is a higher incidence of PD in persons with ID who also have PB/CB compared to those without challenging behavior.

14

Defining Problem Behaviors AKA Challenging Behaviors (PB/CB)• In individuals with ID, physical aggression was associated

with a 50% probability of PD. • The presence of PB/CB increased the probability of

almost all psychiatric conditions. • Several research studies suggest that in persons with ID

there is a strong relation between behavior problems and psychiatric disorders in individuals with intellectual disability

15

16

17

Other Correlations: Level of ID, Symptoms of PD and PB/CB• More symptoms of PD in those with mild and moderate

than those classified as severe and profound ID.• Those classified as mild/moderate had more symptoms of

psychosis and depression than those classified as severe/ profound, while other symptoms of PD were more evenly distributed regardless of classification of ID.

• Interesting Correlation Between PD and PB/CB:– anxietytantrums– maniatantrums, aggression and screaming– weakest correlation: self-injurious behavior (SIB)– depression aggression, tantrums and screaming in

those classified as severe and profound– depression tantrums and SIB, mild and moderate ID

18

Hypotheses of Link

• PB/CB may have the same roots that express itself differently sometimes as PD

• Challenging behavior may be an expression of mental illness

• Challenging behaviors may occur in an attempt to stop aversive experiences in PD

19





20

Why focus on Dual Diagnosis?

• Average life expectancy of people with ID is around 60 years. But, for those individuals with mild ID free of comorbid PD, their lives are as long as neurotypicalindividuals.

• Many studies show that for children and adolescents with ID between 30 and 50% have comorbid PD with a relative risk of having PD with ID of 2.8–4.5.

• The mental well-being of parents of children with ID is more affected by their children’s severity of PD than that of the severity of ID

• Adults with ID experience comorbid PD at higher rates than other adults; point prevalence is approximately 40% with annual incidence at about 8%

21

Why focus on Dual Diagnosis?

• The 1995 Welsh Health Survey found that persons with ID had a higher rate of psychiatric illness (32.2%) than the general population (11.2%).

• People with ID disproportionately contribute to total psychiatric morbidity. Emerson and Hatton in 2007 estimated that the 3% of British children with ID account for 14% of total child and adolescent psychiatric morbidity

• “Psychosocial masking”• “Cognitive disintegration”

22

24

Examples of Specific Psychiatric Disabilities/Disorders Rates• 2005 Australian Study looking at the ‘Disability, Ageing

and Carers Survey, 1998’ comprising data on 42,664 adults living at home or in care facilities. The prevalence of ID was 1.25%. Rates for disabling comorbid PD were: 1.3% psychosis, 8% depression, and 14% had an anxiety disorder. (E9)

• Two more studies reported a point prevalence of 3% and 2.7% respectively for schizophrenia compared to 0.4% in the general population

• Interestingly, in another study the point prevalence of depressive disorder ranged up to 3.7%, which is just over a fourth in the general population

25

How Does Ageing Affect Those with Intellectual Disability?• Londoners with ID who are 65 and older showed PD in

74% of those surveyed.• Those with Down’s Syndrome have higher rates of

dementia. In those 65 years or over, 18.3% had dementia, which is 3.9x higher than general population.

• Down’s Syndrome and dementia is associated with more frequent and severe PB/CB

• Dementia progression in people with Down’s Syndrome was demonstrated to be: 45 “to 49 years – 16.8%; 50–54 years – 17.7%; 55–59 years – 32.1%; 60 years plus –25.6%.

• Increased mortality in those with dementia (44.4%) compared with those without dementia (10.7%).

26

27

28

Dual Diagnosis in Autism

• Higher parent and teacher ratings for ADHD, ODD, aggression, anxiety, and depression compared with neurotypical students.

• Preschoolers through young adults: elevated behavior problems, anxiety, depression, irritability compared to control group. Individuals without ASD but with ID had lower rates of same behaviors when compared with individuals with autism.

• Hurtig et al. (2009) reported greater anxiety, depression, and attention problems in 43 adolescents with HFA/Asperger’s disorder than controls.

29

Dual Diagnosis in Autism

• A study of 177 children with autism showed elevated scores: 26% depression, 25% anxiety, 25% ADHD, 16% conduct disorder, and 15% oppositional- defiant disorder.

• Youth with autism (combining results from two studies): – 8-44%for specific phobia, 29% social anxiety disorder– 8-37%for OCD, – 10% panic disorder, 8% agoraphobia– 2-13% for generalized anxiety disorder– 28-31% for ADHD, – 13% for depression, – 12% for separation anxiety disorder, – 7-28% for oppositional-defiant disorder, – 3% conduct disorder

35

What is an Ideal Assessment?

• Avoid “Diagnostic Overshadowing”• Use multi-method approach evaluating mood, personality,

social skills and aberrant behavior• Review of the client/patient’s records: medical

information, illnesses, injuries, recent trauma events, past effective interventions

• Interviews with the individual, parents, teachers, and caregivers asking baseline/changes in adaptive functioning: changes in interpersonal skills, relationships, or communication skills, as well as in daily functioning.

• Observations—frequent behaviors vs. infrequent behaviors. Two methods for infrequent behaviors: Antecedent Behavior Consequence (ABC) and the scatterplot (formal and Calendar Method)

• Use Rating Scales

Outline for Somatic Treatments• General guidelines for Somatic Treatments• Need to acknowledge that there is evidence for

medication treatment of PD• But need to recognize that most of the recent

evidence-based treatments for DD have come from studies of youth with ASDs and mostly targeting PB/CB not formal PD in DD

• Following is a series of slides that summarizes most of the recent relevant somatic treatment studies in youth with ASD

• Also follows is an additional series of slides that identify common somatic treatments with sufficient evidence to support treatment of DD

43

Somatic Treatment of PD in DD

• Know what you are treating• Know what you want to happen with treatment• Use Scales to help identify PD and response to

treatment• Use Scatterplot, Calendar Method, or ABC

graphs to understand targets of treatment• First line treatment should involve behavioral

and environmental interventions• If you need to use medications:

– Watch for side effects– Only use evidenced-based treatments when you can.

44

Somatic Treatment of PD in DD

"Psychotropic medications…have side effects that [may] be harmful to the physical health of the individuals who take them, such as gait disorder, tardive dyskinesia, diabetes mellitus, tics, hair loss, acne and weight gain. The recognition of side effects is especially challenging because of the cognitive and self-awareness limitations of many individuals.”• Henry Kwok and Patrick W.H. Cheung. Comorbidity of

Psychiatric Disorder and Medical Illness in People with Intellectual Disabilities. Curr Opin Psychiatry 2007; 20:443-449.

45

Brief Summary of Evidence in Autism Spectrum Disorders

• Atypical Antipsychotics can be used to treat irritability (aggression, self-injury, and severe tantrums), stereotypies, and hyperactivity: risperidone and aripiprazole are best.

• Methylphenidate, atomoxetine, clonidine and guanfacine are effective in reducing ADHD symptoms

• SSRIs are not effective in reducing repetitive behaviorsactivation

• Anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) have mixed results• N-acetylcysteine (NAC) found to be helpful in

improving irritability in children with ASD

46

Treatments Currently Under Investigation with RDBPCT

• Oxytocin• Glutamatergic agents• Vasopressin• Donepezil• Oxidative stress pathways:

– Sulforaphane, – terahydrobiopterin, – L-carnitine and – methyl-B12

51

Insomnia Is a Problem in ID

• ASD (50-80%): see melatonin study• Angelman Syndrome (20–80%): likely sensitive to

GABAergic agents• Cerebral Palsy: pay attention to sleep apnea,

possible role for melatonin • Rett Syndrome (80%): hard to treat due to medical

complications• Williams Syndrome: significantly more daytime

sleepiness• Smith-Magenis: possible role for melatonin• In a survey of Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists,

30% of those with ID were being treated for insomnia

Adult Narcolepsy• Evidence for DD: (RDBPCT)• Only stimulant studied in ASD• Effective for ADHD treatment in youth with ASD• Less effective than in typically developing children

with ADHD• Aman et al. analyzed three studies demonstrating

that children with ADHD and ID have significant improvements in children, less so with lower IQs

66

Class: ADHD Medication• Generic Name: Atomoxetine• Known for: Non-stimulant. Also helpful for ADHD +

anxiety• FDA Approvals: ADHD in both adults and youth• Evidence for DD: (RDBPCT)• Effective in ADHD in those with ASD• Atomoxetine plus parent training was more effective

than med or parent training alone in ADHD in those with ASD

some weight gain, activation of mania or aggression• FDA Approvals: Numerous for depressive/anxiety

disorders in both adults and youth• Evidence for DD: • For core symptoms of ASD ineffective and possibly

activating and aggression inducing (RDBPCT)• Aman et al. in a review of many open label studies

that these meds were indeed useful in anxiety and depression in DD.

69

Class: SSRI Antidepressants• Continued from prior slide• Evidence for DD: • Open label citalopram study found 60% of

patients with ID and depression improved on the Clinical Global Improvement Scale (CGIS)
