Patient's question:
At the age of 3 months and 27 days, the child was diagnosed by the doctor with developmental delay. Is it possible that the current condition is cerebral palsy? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, general mental retardation refers to a group of syndromes characterized by intellectual disability and social adaptation difficulties, which manifest before developmental maturity (before the age of 18). This condition can occur alone or be accompanied by other mental disorders or physical illnesses. Its intellectual level (as determined by standardized intelligence tests) is below normal. An IQ score between 70 and 86 is classified as borderline intelligence.It can fall under the category of cerebral palsy. It is best to consult a neurology department in your local hospital to identify the underlying cause and seek early treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
