Adults with cerebral palsy are more susceptible to depression and anxiety

Takeaway

  • Adults with cerebral palsy (CP) are at a higher risk of developing depression and/or anxiety particularly among individuals with no comorbid intellectual disability (ID).

Why this matters

    There is an urgent need to develop the evidence base for mental health intervention and determine related comorbidities in adults with CP to assess potential risk of depression or anxiety.
