Mental retardation

Mental retardation is described as a condition that is diagnosed before age 18, and includes below-average general intellectual function, accompanied by impairment in the person's ability to acquire the skills necessary for daily living. Causes of mental retardation are numerous, but a specific reason for mental retardation is determined in only 25% of the cases.
