Patient's question:
When studying, how to teach and explain still doesn't make sense, and I suspect I might be mentally retarded. What are the symptoms of this condition? Please ask: How can intellectual disability be alleviated?Doctor's answer:
Hello; Causes of intellectual disability; This includes biomedical factors and sociopsychocultural reasons. The former refers to various adverse factors encountered during brain development (prenatal and perinatal periods) that prevent the brain from reaching its potential level of growth and development, ultimately interfering with intelligence. The latter refers to factors such as cultural deprivation, improper upbringing, and sensory deprivation that lead to insufficient or inappropriate acquisition of information, thereby interfering with intellectual functioning. Treatment; If the cause of the intellectual disability has been identified, such as chronic diseases, poisoning, long-term malnutrition, hearing and vision impairments, efforts should be made to remove the cause as much as possible to restore partial or complete intellectual functioning.
