THE ROLE OF THE PRIMARY PHYSICIAN IN MENTAL RETARDATION.

Practicing physicians are called upon with increased frequency for the diagnosis and treatment of the mentally retarded. The syndrome is a complex health, education, social and vocational problem. Classification is generally based on the degree of impairment, the causation and the symptomatology. There are two major types of mental retardation. In one, the impairment is more severe and concomitant physical signs are frequent. In the other, the impairment is mild and somatic signs are absent. Diagnosis calls for careful developmental history, examination and a judicious use of laboratory and other tests. Early diagnosis and the establishment of cause have important therapeutic and preventive implications. Counseling of parents is an essential part of clinical work.
