About this service

Possible symptoms of mental health issues in individuals with Down syndrome include:

  • Loss of energy or interest in previously motivating activities
  • Excessive or increased irritability
  • Frequent low mood
  • School refusal behaviour
  • Complaining of headaches or stomach aches without medical cause
  • Refusal to speak in certain settings or around certain people
  • Crying or clinging behaviour when separating from a parent
  • Excessive or increased rigidity or over-adherence to routines
