How can Down syndrome be treated?

Patient's question:

When I was pregnant, I also had the triple screen test, but it didn't detect anything. Now the baby I gave birth to is still a Down syndrome child. The baby is already two years old now. Could you please tell me if there are any good treatment methods?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, Trisomy 21 syndrome, also known as congenital or Down syndrome, is the most common birth defect caused by chromosomal abnormalities in children. As the name suggests, this disease is a mental illness with a special phenotype caused by congenital factors. The main clinical features of children are mental disorders, physical underdevelopment, and special facial features, and may be accompanied by various malformations. Currently, there is no complete cure for Down syndrome patients. They can only receive early treatment, and they are interested in enhancing their self-care ability through training.
