What is intellectual disability? Intellectual Disability Hazards?

There are many causes of intellectual disability, and if you master it, you will have the opportunity to restore your health in life, and many family members of the family are not particularly clear about the causes of its disease.

1. Genetic factors Chromosomal abnormalities, such as congenital stupidity, account for 5 10 mentally handicapped children. Genetic mutations such as inborn errors of metabolism fall into this category.

2. Prenatal damage includes intrauterine infection, hypoxia, physical and chemical factors such as harmful poisons, drugs, radiation, mercury, lead, smoking, alcohol, drug abuse, severe malnutrition or illness of pregnant women.

3. Birth trauma during childbirth, asphyxia, intracranial hemorrhage, premature infants, hypoglycemia, kernicterus, sepsis.

4. Postnatal diseases include meningitis, encephalitis, cranial trauma, cerebrovascular accident, toxic encephalopathy, endocrine disorders such as hypothyroidism, epilepsy, etc.

2.Prenatal Damage:

These include intrauterine infections, hypoxia, physicochemical factors such as harmful toxins, drugs, radiation, mercury, lead, smoking, alcohol consumption, drug abuse, severe malnutrition or illness in pregnant women.

3.Birth trauma during childbirth:

Asphyxia, intracranial hemorrhage, prematurity, hypoglycemia, kernicterus, sepsis.

4.Postnatal illness:

Including meningitis, encephalitis, cranial trauma, cerebrovascular accident, toxic encephalopathy, endocrine disorders such as hypothyroidism, epilepsy, etc.

Intellectual disability is a disease that we all grasp very clearly, in life to strengthen the care of the disease, as long as it is carried out seriously, the disease of intellectual disability will not be very soon, in life parents try to help their children do some ** training, timely grasp the development of the disease.

Intellectual disability is a disorder of intellectual development caused by underdeveloped brain and low IQ. Severe mental retardation can lead to developmental and functional abnormalities in patients, mainly in the form of reflexes, speech or daily activities. This condition increases according to age.

Intellectual disability congenital: a condition that occurs before birth. Some of them are hereditary and some are non-hereditary, mainly including:

1.chromosomal abnormalities, such as "congenital stupidity"; 2.Inherited metabolic defects, such as phenylketonuria; 3.

Congenital malformations, such as microcephaly, hydrocephalus, etc.; 4.Intrauterine acquisition is caused by rubella, lack of trace elements, hypoxia, improper medication, X-ray irradiation and toxic substances during pregnancy. Intellectual Disability Acquired Nature:

i.e. at birth and after birth. At birth, for example, due to birth trauma, intracranial hemorrhage, hypoxia, asphyxia, infection, etc.; After birth, sequelae caused by various encephalitis, head trauma, poisoning, cerebral hypoxia, cerebrovascular disease, etc. Of course, there are still some mentally handicapped children whose ** is unknown.

The acquired ones are more common in birth trauma, hypoxia at birth, neonatal asphyxia and other conditions, which generally need to be positive and long-term, because there are many reasons for giving birth to mentally retarded children. Some are caused by smoking and drinking during pregnancy, and some are caused by contamination, bacteria or viruses that attack the fetus. Therefore, you must pay attention to your diet during pregnancy and be sure to go to the prenatal checkup on time.

So what are the dangers of mental retardation?

1. Mental retardation is mainly manifested in the backwardness of infants' gross motor, fine motor, language and human adaptability. For example, in preschool and school-age stages, they cannot keep up with their after-school learning progress, have poor academic performance, cannot communicate with others, and have difficulty in social adjustment; Mental retardation is mostly a simple cognitive impairment with no other deficits. However, some children with mental retardation have other functional impairments.

If mental retardation is severe, the more defects are attached.

2. Mental retardation can also be accompanied by symptoms of cerebral palsy and epilepsy, as well as visual and hearing disorders, language deficits, learning disabilities, communication disorders, mental and behavioral abnormalities, inattention, pervasive developmental disorders, and autism.

3. Children with mental retardation have mental retardation, so they look sluggish or smirk in terms of expression, and their comprehension ability is very poor.

4. Children with serious mental retardation cannot have a correct understanding of some common sense problems in life, so it is very difficult to learn, and their grades are also very poor, their sense of danger is low, their personality is very impulsive, and their temper is also very short-tempered, and it is difficult to adapt to life when they grow up, let alone protect themselves.

The occurrence of mental retardation is gradual, parents must be patient to guide, adopt scientific methods, do not be too impatient, and can not scold children, otherwise it will not only affect the effect of the first, but also bring serious consequences to the family and society. Therefore, if there is a mentally retarded child in the family, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible.
