The paper 'The prevalence, incidence, and factors predictive of mental ill-health in adults with profound intellectual disabilities' by Sally-Ann Cooper, et al makes a number of core assumptions within the methodology and discussion of the results. In this article, the authors identify some of the important assumptions made in the paper and invite further expansion and clarification on these issues. Areas discussed are: the reliability of diagnosis of mental ill-health in people with severe disabilities; factors predictive of mental ill-health in people with severe disabilities; and the phenomenological experience in people with severe disabilities.
