Can intellectual disability be treated?

Patient's question:

My child has always had poor reaction time, weak memory, and low intelligence since childhood. Their simple thinking makes it impossible for them to attend regular school. A friend suggested it might be due to low intelligence. Could you please tell me if low intelligence can be treated?

Doctor's answer:

This requires going to the hospital to undergo a cranial magnetic resonance imaging to check if it is possible that the condition is caused by cerebral palsy. If it is cerebral palsy, this condition cannot be treated because the disease currently cannot be effectively controlled. Oral intelligence syrup can be taken. Patients with low intelligence can, while understanding the principle of treating symptoms, use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment in daily life. Appropriate dietary habits should be maintained in daily meals to avoid stimulating foods.
