Question
The child was diagnosed with developmental delay at 27 days old. Is the current condition equivalent to cerebral palsy? What is the best treatment approach?
Answer
Hello, developmental delay typically refers to a group of comprehensive symptoms of incomplete or hindered mental development, characterized by intellectual disability and social adaptation difficulties, occurring before the age of maturity (before 18). This condition may occur alone or be accompanied by other mental disorders. It is best to consult a local neurology department to identify the primary disease, receive early treatment, and wish for a quick recovery.
