Patient's question:
My sister currently suffers from Down syndrome, but her body doesn't have other complications, mainly intellectual disability and ADHD. How can we best treat Down syndrome now?Doctor's answer:
Children with Down syndrome rarely have an IQ below 6, and their brains are typically too light. The cerebellum, brainstem, and prefrontal cortex are remarkably small. Diseases and disabilities such as recurrent infections, heart disease, amblyopia, and hearing impairment may disrupt the teaching process. Other physical symptoms of the disease include facial distortion, resembling simian creases. Many individuals with Down syndrome develop depression after puberty due to stress.
