The classification of mental retardation was briefly discussed in regard to the classifications of International Classification of Diseases and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual DSM-IV. The incidence and prevalence of mental retardation are discussed between the developed and developing countries. Their characteristics are also presented in this paper. The Epidemiologic characteristics of severe and mild mental retardation are compared. The severe nature of Down Syndrome in mental retardation and its prevention as well as community services to prevent mental retardation are also discussed.
