Patient's question:
My wife's nephew is a bit mentally retarded. Could you please ask what good methods there are to treat adolescent mental retardation?Doctor's answer:
Intellectual disability is caused by neurological abnormalities or diseases, often seen in cases of cerebral palsy or hypoxia-induced brain damage. Once it develops, it is irreversible, so treatment at this stage is ineffective. However, active guidance and rehabilitation exercises can greatly benefit the child's prognosis. It is necessary to visit a professional rehabilitation institution. In daily life, it is important to eat more vegetables and fruits and maintain a balanced diet.
