The Intellectual Disability Dual Diagnosis (IDDD) service is a community based specialist psychiatry service for those over the age of 18 who have an intellectual disability and a serious mental health diagnosis. The IDDD service works with Tangata Whaiora, whānau, and support staff to help facilitate the optimal care of the complex health needs of those diagnosed with an intellectual disability and significant mental health issues requiring specialist psychiatric input.
