Improved outcomes for individuals with co-occurring intellectual/developmental disability (IDD) and mental illness depends upon effective psychiatric treatment. Effective treatment requires an accurate psychiatric diagnosis. Obtaining that accurate diagnosis for individuals with IDD has been, and remains, very challenging. This book was written to address this challenge.
More than 100 experts from around the world have now updated the DM-ID to accompany the DSM-5. The DM-ID-2 was developed to facilitate an accurate psychiatric diagnosis in persons who have intellectual disabilities and to provide a thorough discussion of the issues involved in reaching an accurate diagnosis.
The DM-ID-2 provides state-of-the-art information concerning mental disorders in persons with intellectual disabilities. Grounded in evidence based methods and supported by the expert-consensus model, DM-ID-2 offers a broad examination of the issues involved in applying diagnostic criteria for psychiatric disorders to persons with intellectual disabilities. The DM-ID-2 is an essential resource for every clinician who works with individuals with a dual diagnosis (IDD/MI).

The DM-ID 2 Workbook was developed as an accompaniment to the second edition of the Diagnostic Manual-Intellectual Disability (DM-ID 2) in order to provide clinicians such as physicians, psychologists, social workers, counselors, and therapists with a comprehensive method to make an accurate diagnosis of mental health in individuals who have an intellectual disability (ID).
The DM-ID 2 Workbook provides a structured interview format that focuses on identifying observable signs of mental illness, particularly where symptom presentation and diagnostic criteria differ in individuals with ID. In doing so, this ensures that all symptoms of mental illness that may otherwise be misdiagnosed or overlooked are incorporated into the diagnostic decision and that all relevant diagnostic options are considered prior to making a diagnosis.
In summary, following the structured diagnostic method outlined in the DM-ID 2 Workbook will assist clinicians to make the most accurate diagnosis of mental illness in cases where individuals have an intellectual disability.

DM-ID 2 Addendum
Below you will find an official addendum to the Diagnostic Manual – Intellectual Disability, Second Edition (DM-ID 2). This addendum aligns the DM-ID 2 with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR), reflecting updates to diagnostic criteria, terminology, and clinical guidance.
Since the publication of DSM-5-TR, clinicians, educators, and researchers have sought guidance to ensure continued consistency between these foundational diagnostic frameworks. The newly released addendum addresses this need by providing targeted updates while preserving the clinical intent and structure of the DM-ID 2.
The release of this addendum underscores NADD’s ongoing commitment to advancing diagnostic accuracy and clinical excellence for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. By aligning DM-ID 2 with DSM-5-TR, we aim to support clinicians in delivering informed, equitable, and evidence-based care.
The DM-ID 2 addendum is intended to be used alongside the existing manual and does not replace the DM-ID 2. It serves as a supplemental resource to ensure continued relevance and alignment with current diagnostic standards.
