Question
Where can diagnosis improve intellectual disability?
Answer
For children with intellectual disability, the earlier treatment and special training begin, the better the effects. It is generally believed that the best period should not be missed before the age of 6, ideally starting before the child is 6 months old. Given the extremely complex causes of intellectual disability in children, traditional methods such as medication and acupuncture can only temporarily control the condition and cannot complete fundamental treatment. Stopping treatment can lead to relapse, leaving health risks for the child’s future. It is recommended to actively carry out family rehabilitation for children with intellectual disability, adhering to the principles of nutrition, teaching, care, and treatment. Intellectual disability patients can use folk remedies as auxiliary treatment while understanding professional treatment and should have appropriate diets in their daily life to avoid stimulating foods.
