Question
A three-year-old boy has slow reactions and limited language expression abilities. After examination, he was diagnosed with intellectual disability. What methods should be used to treat intellectual disability?
Answer
Intellectual disability is often congenital, and it is difficult to completely stabilize with postnatal treatment. The core of treatment lies in balancing the secretion of brain neurotransmitters, providing necessary nutrition for the self-repair of nerve cells, and stimulating the further development of the central nervous system. There are various methods for treating intellectual disability, but due to individual differences among patients, individualized treatment plans are also required. Therefore, it is recommended that patients undergo diagnosis as early as possible to select appropriate treatment plans specifically tailored to their needs.
