Question

How can congenital mental retardation be treated?

Answer

For congenital mental retardation, a combination of medication and acupuncture therapy, along with professional rehabilitation training, is typically adopted. In Taiwan, the Dongfeng Company’s Huaguo Hospital’s Pediatric Mental Retardation and Cerebral Palsy Treatment Center and the Yangguang Hospital’s Hearing and Speech Impaired Mental Retardation Rehabilitation Treatment Center are considered authoritative institutions in this field. Parents should take their children to the doctor immediately to avoid misconceptions, receive timely symptomatic treatment, and provide sufficient care and attention to help them recover quickly.
