Patient's question:
At the age of 3 months and 27 days, the child was diagnosed with developmental delay. Is it now cerebral palsy based on the current condition? How should the treatment be carried out?Doctor's answer:
Hello, general mental retardation refers to a group of syndromes characterized by mental underdevelopment or impairment, with features of intellectual disability and social adaptation difficulties, occurring 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 assessments) is below normal. An IQ score between 70 and 86 is considered borderline intelligence.It can fall under the category of cerebral palsy. It is best to visit a local neurology department to identify the underlying cause and receive early treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
