Question
A child has shown signs of delayed intellectual development since childhood and has been diagnosed with intellectual disability after hospital examination. Is it possible for intellectual disability to heal itself?
Answer
Intellectual disability does not have the possibility of self-healing. However, through training at professional rehabilitation institutions, patients can enhance their ability to manage daily life. Although complete cure for intellectual disability is still not possible, through comprehensive treatment such as rehabilitation training and massage, patients can reach a level close to that of normal individuals. Under the current level of medical science, medication is only used as an auxiliary treatment method, while rehabilitation training and other comprehensive measures are an indispensable part of the treatment. There are various treatment methods for intellectual disability, but due to individual differences among patients, treatment plans also need to be considered individually. Once related symptoms are found, early diagnosis and treatment should be carried out.
