Relationship and psychiatric morbidities in siblings of children with intellectual disability: a cross-sectional, mixed-method study

CONCLUSION: In India, the relationship between children with ID and their unaffected siblings is mainly characterised by warmth and closeness, intimacy, prosocial behaviour, companionship, similarity, admiration, and affection. Siblings of children with ID may experience a range of internalising and externalising symptoms, although most did not reach the threshold level for diagnosis.
