Patient's question:
Can mental retardation lead to mental illness?Doctor's answer:
Mental retardation, this generally will not cause mental illness, but mental retardation will have obvious intellectual disabilities, more common in children with autism. For mental retardation, the main cause is generally due to incomplete brain development or physical injuries, which is not curable. However, through early intervention for the child, such as behavioral training and other methods, it can be effectively stabilized.
