Abstract

Mental health problems are often a feature of Down syndrome (DS). Depression in particular has features in common with physical health conditions and dementia, from which it needs to be distinguished. Regression syndrome has recently been recognized as a rare but important condition in younger individuals. The assessment and treatment approaches to these and other conditions are summarized.
