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 consider the possibility of accompanying brain lesions and then confirm whether it is intellectual disability. Additionally, psychological and emotional changes, 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 life skills.I recommend that you visit a specialized hospital for a thorough examination to identify the underlying cause and seek early treatment. There are many treatment methods for intellectual disability, but since the condition varies among patients, the treatment approaches differ accordingly. Therefore, prompt diagnosis is essential to provide the most effective treatment.
