Question
Is it intellectual disability or depression? My wife is 23 and got married at 18, one year ago. I used to think she was young and naive, easy to be deceived. When I told her things, she agreed at the time. For simple matters, she agreed and still did things her own way. For simple questions, she often doesn’t understand and asks many foolish questions, like someone who has never touched the world. Is she lying or what? Is it rebellion or not understanding others’ words? She doesn’t want to laugh but laughs in a foolish manner. How should we treat it?
Answer
It’s difficult for a person’s lifestyle to change, and your wife has developed her way of doing things from her early life environment. It’s recommended that you and your wife communicate more, discuss things together, and be willing to tolerate each other. Intelligence issues should not be the problem; it’s mostly different life environments that lead to different personalities. Moreover, patients need to develop regular lifestyle habits, persist with treatment, and maintain a light diet while doing more aerobic exercises. This will help boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
