Patient's question:
My son is already five years old this year, but he can't even do some of the most basic things. I don't know what to do with a mentally disabled child at home.Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons that can lead to children having mild intellectual disability, including family-related factors and communication-related factors. However, these factors can inadvertently cause mild intellectual disability in children, such as genetic factors, harm to the child during childbirth or pregnancy, or illness after birth. These can all potentially result in mild intellectual disability in children, and are largely unrelated to the parents' intelligence. Nowadays, there are many methods to treat mild intellectual disability, such as traditional Chinese medicine treatment, medication, physical therapy, and combined with training for children in daily life.
