Mental Retardation, Developmental Delay Disorder
Atypical Neuroleptic Drugs in People With Mental Retardation/Developmental Delay
Psychiatric drugs are often used to treat behavioral symptoms of mental retardation/developmental delay (MR/DD). These drugs can cause serious side effects. Newer drugs may have decreased side effects.
