| Abstract: |
The aim of this review is to evaluate research reporting on the correlation between challenging behavior, specifically aggression and self-injury, and depression, in people with an intellectual disability. The authors see this as a first step toward evaluating whether challenging behaviors might be considered as depressive equivalent symptoms. They find that the associations between depression and aggression, and depression and self-injury, are equivocal and that the results of existing studies are open to validity threats. Thus, more sophisticated research of the association is warranted. |
