| description | The risk of accompanying aggression in children with
Intellectual disability is known to be higher than in healthy children.
Aggression in subjects with ID can severely impact on individuals' social
adaptation and education and on the quality of life of caregivers. Aggression
may be verbal or physical. Various agents are used as antiaggressive drugs,
including lithium, anticonvulsants and antipsychotics, although data regarding
the effectiveness of these are limited. It is shown that propranonol is effective
in the treatment of aggression.
This
report describes the successful management with propranolol of aggressive and
self-mutilative behaviors in an adolescent with severe ID. |
