Question

A child has rarely smiled since birth and shows significantly less activity compared to same age children, causing concern among parents. What treatment methods are available for intellectual disability?

Answer

Intellectual disability may have congenital factors, making it difficult to completely stabilize with postnatal treatment. The core of treating intellectual disability lies in balancing the secretion of brain neurotransmitters, providing nutritional support for the self-repair of nerve cells, and stimulating the further development of the central nervous system. Although intellectual disability is not easily alleviated completely, patients and their families should maintain a positive attitude to enhance their confidence in combating the disease. Believe that through appropriate treatment and support, it is possible to promote the recovery of patients.
