Patient's question:
I recently noticed that my child's attention is not focused. At three years old, he still never answers correctly about the surrounding things and lacks interest. He doesn't seem as lively as other children of the same age. I took him to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said it was brain damage. What are the causes of low intelligence in children?Doctor's answer:
Intellectual disability is a group of diseases characterized by significantly higher general intellectual functions during the second period of growth and development compared to peers with the same level of adaptive behavior deficits. There are many causes of intellectual disability in children. Genetic defects, brain damage during childbirth, sensory and visual impairments, motor resource integration deficits, and ADHD can all lead to intellectual disability. By changing the environment to live in a friendly and harmonious family and enhancing education, their intelligence can be improved.
