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: can patients with intellectual disability be cured?Doctor's answer:
There are approximately 250 known causes of intellectual disability. Brain function deficiencies can lead to intellectual disability as well as language, aggression, and other impairments. The main causes include: congenital infections; harm to the fetus caused by harmful substances; complications during pregnancy or childbirth; poor nutrition of the fetus or infant; diseases during childhood; and generational inheritance factors that cause chromosomal, metabolic, and neurological deficiencies, leading to certain protein and lipid metabolic disorders. This destroys the infant's brain, resulting in intellectual disability and language impairments. For this condition, it is essential to focus on stabilizing brain growth and development.
