Question
A child has shown signs of retardation since childhood, and it was later diagnosed with intellectual disability after hospital examination. How should intellectual disability be effectively treated?
Answer
Intellectual disability is a condition that cannot be completely cured on its own. For patients, it requires specialized education and scientific rehabilitation training to improve intelligence. Early detection, accurate diagnosis, and treatment are crucial for controlling the progression of the condition. Mild cases can be improved by adjusting lifestyle and dietary structure, as well as correcting bad habits; severe cases may require medication treatment and should be continued and gradually intensified. Additionally, patients should pay attention to diet and psychological care to achieve the best treatment outcomes.
