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 things. It generally refers to someone who cannot think normally (e.g., dementia). It is also used to mock people who treat others contrary to common sense and fail. Intellectual disability is a group of symptoms caused by certain diseases or other harmful factors; it is not a distinct disease entity. In mild intellectual disability patients, some may have brain atrophy, poor brain development, or associated with ataxia.
