The word "moron" is used not only in a diagnostic context, but also as a humiliation when people want to demonstrate their own superiority by pointing out the minuses of intelligence. Debility is the simplest degree of oligophrenia, to which oligophrenia and idiocy also belong. Some people ask: what if the brother is a moron?
Reasons for the emergence of debilism
Because this disorder can be either congenital or acquired, the factors of its occurrence are divided into two categories.
Inborn:
- existence in the family of patients with Down syndrome;
- lack of vitamins and iodine in the girl's diet while carrying a child;
- anomaly of genes;
- irradiation of a pregnant girl;
- genetic propensity;
- excessive use of alcohol, nicotine and drugs;
- contact with toxic plants oranimals;
- mother's severe infectious diseases;
- unnatural lifestyle;
- residence in the contaminated area;

Stages
So what if the brother is a moron? First of all, you need to contact a speech therapist and a specialist in psychology, who, with the help of lessons based on specialized tasks that characterize the degree of knowledge and logic, and, in addition, the level of social adaptation and attachment to relatives, will determine the degree of his debility.
Depending on the level of underdevelopment of mental and psychological abilities, debility is systematized as follows:
- easy - mental ability at level 70 (on the IQ scale);
- moderate - intellectual abilities reach 64;
- heavy - less than 60.
Indications and symptoms
There are several indicators and traits that form a single assessment of an individual in the presence of the above disease in a mature person:
- low percentage of intelligence;
- failure to make independent judgments;
- uncontrollable anger;
- presence of oddities;
- inability to restrain oneself;
- asociality;
