What Is The Treatment For Mental Retardation?
MY 60 YEAR OLD BROTHER WAS DIAGNOSED AS A CHILD AS MENTALLY RETARDED. HE HAS SERIOUS MOOD SWINGS. SOMETIMES HE WILL BE FRIENDLY AND TALKATIVE AND OUT OF THE BLUE HE WILL SHUT DOWN WITH NO EXPLANATION OR SEEMINGLY NO REASON. HIS SPEECH IS UNCLEAR BUT HE HAS NO TROUBLE USING SWEAR WORDS AND WISHES THAT WE WERE DEAD. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
