Abstract
in English, French

Behavioral disorders in people with developmental and intellectual disability are frequent but their management is rarely taught. This article is to help primary physicians prescribe drug treatment. We will also discuss the key elements of two of the most commonly used classes of drugs, taking into account the patient's co-morbidities, contraindications and the main side effects.

Les troubles du comportement chez la personne en situation de handicap mental sont fréquents, mais leur prise en charge est peu enseignée aux médecins de premier recours. Cet article a pour objectif d’aider à la prescription d’un traitement médicamenteux. Nous discutons des éléments clés des deux classes de médicaments les plus utilisés, en tenant compte des comorbidités du patient, des contre-indications et des principaux effets secondaires.
