Patient's question:
The brains of fools, imbeciles, and idiots—what kind of damage causes this?Doctor's answer:
A fool is a person with low intelligence and lacks understanding of the world. It generally refers to someone who cannot think normally (such as in cases of dementia). It is also used to mock people who treat others contrary to common sense and fail in their actions. Intellectual disability is a group of symptoms caused by certain diseases or other harmful factors; it is not a distinct medical condition. In mild intellectual disability, some individuals may have brain atrophy, poor brain development, or may also have ataxia.
