Relevant specific problems of psychiatric disorders in mentally retarded individuals are described and discussed on the basis of selected literature. Mentally retarded individuals with mental problems differ significantly from their normal intelligent counterparts with respect to biological, social and psychological aspects. The improvement of the psychiatric-psychotherapeutic care seems to be necessary.
