Patient's question:
My child has always had poor reaction time, poor memory, and low intelligence since childhood. Their simple thinking made it impossible for them to enroll in school normally. After a thorough examination, it was determined that they have low intelligence. What should I do about low intelligence?Doctor's answer:
Generally, in such cases, a comprehensive evaluation is necessary. It is advisable to undergo further brain imaging and EEG tests to assess whether there are any accompanying brain lesions. This will help confirm whether the condition is indeed intellectual disability. Additionally, psychological and emotional fluctuations, postnatal training, and dietary nutrition can all have certain impacts. Maintaining a positive mindset and healthy dietary and lifestyle habits, while appropriately implementing targeted intellectual training, can help enhance the child's personal survival skills. I recommend that you visit a specialized hospital for a thorough examination to identify the underlying cause and seek early treatment. Furthermore, during the treatment for intellectual disability, in addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial.
