Patient's question:
Under four years old, but both my husband and I are very busy. When the child was small, he was very well-behaved, and the elderly in the family took care of him. But now he has grown up a lot, so we chose to send the child to kindergarten. However, the kindergarten teacher said very tactfully that she needs to take the child to the hospital and ask for what kind of assistance: What are the causes of childhood mental disorders and mental retardation?Doctor's answer:
Intelligence is a condition commonly caused by the combined selection of hereditary and environmental factors, with the majority of cases of mental retardation remaining unclear. Common causes of mental retardation during pregnancy include medication, drug use, radiation therapy, malnutrition, and viral infections. Chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome, are also common causes of mental retardation. Many genetic metabolic diseases can lead to mental retardation, such as phenylketonuria and cretinism. Early treatment of cretinism can prevent mental retardation. Premature birth, brain damage at birth, drowning, and respiratory distress are also debated as potential causes of mental retardation!
