Mental retardation may be caused by heredity, or by craniocerebral trauma, poisoning, infection, etc. Some patients are difficult to be cured, while some can be better improved after treatment and rehabilitation, and no generalization can be made.
Genetically caused intellectual developmental disorders are difficult to cure, such as trisomy 21, also known as Down’s syndrome, which is a disease caused by chromosome 21 abnormality, and the affected children are backward intellectually, and are accompanied by a congenital stupid face, which can be prevented by pre-pregnancy checkups.
Craniocerebral trauma, poisoning, infection and other factors can lead to mental retardation. However, if the symptoms of mental retardation caused by these diseases are not very serious, the child’s intelligence can be restored to a certain extent through rehabilitation training.
If you are diagnosed with mental retardation, don’t be discouraged, actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment and rehabilitation training, and try to help your child to recover some self-care function and social function.
