When developing different material, terminology has been a challenging issue and after undertaking extensive consultation we have decided to use the expression “people with psychosocial, intellectual and cognitive disabilities”. We explain why we have chosen this expression as well as its meaning p.10 of the following document: http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665/254801/1/WHO-MSD-MHP-17.1-eng.pdf?ua=1
Of course, terminology can evolve as we continue to discuss with people with lived experience across the world.
