Patient's question:
My child is 5 years old. Recently, when he is unhappy, he likes to hit people, and he has poor concentration. After checking, it was found that he has intellectual disability. How can intellectual disability be diagnosed?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, general mental retardation examinations usually follow a standardized, systematic plan. Local psychiatric departments can conduct these examinations to make a diagnosis. My suggestion is that it is best to take him to the hospital or a psychological clinic for systematic psychological counseling, as both can have a certain therapeutic and environmental effect.Since the child is troubled by mental retardation, parents must take the child to seek medical treatment immediately to avoid various misunderstandings and to receive timely symptomatic treatment. For parents, it is important to closely observe changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely medical treatment.
