What are other terms for mental retardation?
As the phrase implies, Retarded people have reactions and instincts slowed down, that is retarded. There are some forms of mental symptoms that can be considered acquired mental retardation- and can occur as a by product of various sources- including violence and violent sports such as boxing- the punch drunk man has some of the same symptoms of the retarded person- tardive dysklesia (I donddd Tawk too good anymore, note accents- not I Don't Talk, but I donddd Tawk! it's not funny.) Senile dementiA can be considered a form of retardation and goes for juvenile forms- senior citizens suddenly demand juvenile items (Where are my electric trains? Where are my comic books?) In some cases staff in senior citizen homes play along with their senility by even supplying such things as dolls and stuffed animals like the Eeyore character. Almost all retarded people make common errors in English and spelling, and many are, from the illness, illiterate. It is sad and not funny. The possibility of artificial or acquired retardation from a crime or accident- like amnesia, is no laughing matter.
Does Mental retardation require psychiatric treatment?
Mental Retardation is actually considered a developmental disorder and has recently been changed to the term "IDD" (Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities). The answer to your questions is "yes." Of course, mental retardation can be mild, moderate, or severe. I often have a visual for parents and caregivers to understand mental retardation or IDD better. Think of Down Syndrome as being at the very top of a scale, Severe MR or IDD following, Moderate IDD or MR, and then Mild IDD or MR. In cases of severe MR or Down Syndrome, psychiatric treatment may be required, especially if the individual sufferer struggles with impulse control, delusions or hallucinations, poor mood regulation, improper boundaries, or oppositional behaviors.

What is the difference between being legal and being ethical?
Being legal means following the laws and not breaking any. It may not always be ethical. For example if you are involved in an auto accident, almost anywhere being legal means stopping and not leaving the scene of the accident. It does not require you to assist any victims. Any others passing by are not legally required to stop. Being ethical, or moral, would involve stopping and helping accident victims whether or not you are involved in the accident or just.
