The National Association for the Dually Diagnosed (NADD), in association with the American Psychiatric Association (APA), developed a Manual that is designed to be an adaptation of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition—Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR).  The title of this Manual is the Diagnostic Manual — Intellectual Disability (DM-ID):  A Textbook of Diagnosis of Mental Disorders in Persons with Intellectual Disability.  Grounded in evidence based methods and supported by the expert-consensus model, Diagnostic Manual — Intellectual Disability (DM-ID):  A Textbook of Diagnosis of Mental Disorders in Persons with Intellectual Disability offers a broad examination of the topic, including a description of each disorder, a summary of the DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria, a review of the literature and research and an evaluation of the strength of evidence supporting the literature conclusions, a discussion of the etiology and pathogenisis of the disorders, and adaptations of the diagnostic criteria for the ID population.
