Patient's question:
My son doesn't talk much and sometimes falls while walking. He has low intelligence. My son is already five years old this year. Is this considered intellectual disability?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your explanation, it could be considered a condition of intellectual disability. Currently, this condition cannot be fully cured. For the patient, special teaching and scientific rehabilitation training methods are needed to effectively improve their intelligence. It is recommended to take them to a regular hospital for follow-up. Additionally, attention should be paid to diet in daily life. In terms of diet, MSG should be avoided, and consumption of drinks, yogurt, sugar, and puffed foods should be reduced. A balanced diet rich in various vitamins and trace elements is also important. In fact, having an intellectual disability is not something to be feared. The patient should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treatment is provided accordingly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and achieving recovery are very high.
