Case Report: A Case of Intellectual Disability with Inappropriate and Challenging Sexual Behavior that was Treated with GNRH Analogues

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Intellectual Disability starts within the course of developmental stages and covers both intellectual and adaptive deficiencies in conceptual, social and applied fields. Individuals with intellectual disability experience many difficulties in social life due to challenging and inappropriate sexual behaviour. Suchdifficulties need to be addressed, reduced or treated. Traditional treatments often fail to treat and improve suchbehavior. Alternative treatment options need to be explored with studies conducted in this field. With this paper, we aimed to show and touch on alternative treatments for challenging and inappropriate behaviors of a 15-year old boy with intellectual disability, who was treated with GNRH analogues.
