Question
What are appropriate management methods for intellectual disability?
Answer
There are many possible causes for intellectual disability in children, and a thorough and detailed examination is necessary to rule out simple issues. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for genetic testing and a cranial MRI to determine whether the condition is caused by genes or brain diseases. Treatment for intellectual disability in children should be tailored to the cause. If it is caused by genes, it is usually not completely curable with medication; oral intellectual syrup can only be used to alleviate clinical symptoms.
