Question
I often experience intellectual disability during the day, although it doesn’t affect my work, I still want to know how to effectively prevent and treat it.
Answer
Intellectual disability can be caused by various factors, including brain and head injuries, skin damage, central nervous system infections, severe systemic infections, and recurrence of seizures. Depending on IQ and adaptive behavior deficits, intellectual disability can be classified into four levels: mild, moderate, severe, and extremely severe. The key to treating children with intellectual disability lies in early detection and diagnosis. Once symptoms of intellectual disability are noticed in a child, it is important to immediately go to a professional hospital for assessment. Since the diagnosis and treatment of intellectual disability require advanced hospital equipment and expert experience, it is recommended to choose a regular and professional pediatric hospital for treatment. In the face of intellectual disability, timely symptomatic treatment should be adopted, and medical treatment should not be avoided. If the treatment effect is not satisfactory, the treatment plan should be adjusted in time.
