Is an IQ of 87 considered mentally retarded?

Patient's question:

IQ 87, is it considered low intelligence, intellectual disability, intellectual impairment?? Will depression and anxiety interfere with intelligence? Will chronic rhinitis from childhood to adulthood interfere with intelligence??? What are the treatment options??

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, an intelligence test is just a tendency-based speculation, don't worry about it so much. Depression and anxiety will never interfere with intelligence, but they can affect emotions, thereby interfering with one's judgment on matters. Rhinitis can affect memory. If you have depression or anxiety, it is recommended that you seek professional psychological counseling to alleviate your emotions. Rhinitis can now be treated with surgery, and the treatment effects are generally good. Pay attention to appropriate physical exercise in your daily life.
