Question
If a child at home shows signs of attention deficit, developmental delays, and intellectual disability, how should one effectively treat intellectual disability?
Answer
Treating intellectual disability can begin with dietary adjustments. It is recommended to consume more foods beneficial for the brain, such as walnuts, sesame seeds, longans (tonifying the heart), ginseng, and lotus seeds. Avoid excessive stress and anxiety as they are detrimental to brain health. At the same time, encourage physical exercise to increase oxygen supply to the brain. Ensure adequate sleep and consider taking brain supplements. Treating intellectual disability is not easy; patients and their families should maintain a positive and optimistic attitude to boost confidence in fighting the disease and believe that comprehensive treatment can lead to improvement.
