Does Parkinson's Disease Cause Mental Retardation?
Hi sir I have a sister who is mentally rtd. She is 17years old. She gets annoyed or irritated sometimes and becomes little aggressive.
Recently we learnt that she is also suffering from Parkinson’s.
Is there a possibility that her mental retardation is due to Parkinson’s? could it be controlled.

Hi
I understand your concern.
Mental retardation and Parkinson both are different kind of condition
And mental retardation is not disorder it is lack of growth of brain and it has no cure.
Parkinson can be treated with drugs.
So do consultation and get proper advise about both the condition.
Thank you.
Hope for the best.
