Suggest suitable therapy for mental retardation
human
My son is suffering from mental retardation i.e. his I.Q. level is below 40.  I want to know that this is curable or not.  Is there any medicine which can enhance his memory and I.Q. level?  I came to know that this type of disease is not curable.  So, please help me to know the exact details.

Hello,Mental retardation is the incomplete development of mind. Unfortunately there are no medications which can increase the IQ. I have trird nootropic drugs like piracetam but results are not promising.But better than that, i have seen children with Mental retardation taking of their daily activities after intense and continuous training. Though easier said than done, but training is the only by which your child will show some improvement. You have to work hard to train him to wear him clothes, eating, his daily ablutions etc repeatedly.Hope you find this helpful.Thanks.
