Patient's question:
A 7-year-old boy, when learning, still doesn't understand or know how to be taught, and is usually slow to react. There are suspicions of mental retardation. What are the manifestations of this condition? Please ask: What are the obvious signs of mentally retarded children?Doctor's answer:
If a child exhibits symptoms of intellectual disability, the first thing to show is abnormal language function, as they are unable to express their thoughts well. Secondly, they may have poor sensory abilities and impaired memory, and emotionally they can be quite isolated, often very timid. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for thorough examination as soon as possible to confirm the condition, and seek timely treatment if necessary.
