    Author: Benson BA, Reiss S, Smith DC, Laman DS.
    Journal: Am J Ment Defic; 1985 May; 89(6):657-9. PubMed ID: 4003462.
    Abstract:
    This is the second report on the results of an investigation of the psychosocial correlates of depression in mildly mentally retarded adults. Results of the present study showed that depression was associated with informant ratings of poor social skills. The results of the entire investigation suggest that further research is necessary on the associations among poor social skills, low levels of social support, and the occurrence of depression in mentally retarded adults.
