Abstract
Nosographic, clinical, therapeutic and psychosocial aspects of psychopathological disorders in 43 mentally retarded patients followed from 1988 to 1991 are presented. Mental problems in mentally retarded subjects are linked to mental illness but do not form a continuum with it. The prognosis is generally favourable. Great attention must be given to the psychosocial aspects as social integration is almost always at risk in the mentally retarded.
