Question
A five-year-old child is showing abnormal behaviors such as excessive sleepiness and slow response, suspected of having intellectual disability. How should intellectual disability be treated to achieve the best results?
Answer
Intellectual disability, particularly cerebral palsy, cannot be completely cured, but with appropriate treatment, it can reach levels close to normal. In current medical practice, medication therapy is only used as an auxiliary method, while comprehensive treatment approaches such as rehabilitation training and massage are the main treatment routes and are indispensable. For patients with severe intellectual disability, it is recommended to seek immediate professional medical advice and follow the doctor’s guidance for treatment to avoid self-medication, which may worsen the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only and are hoped to provide assistance.
