A member asked:
Epilepsy, mental retardation and paralysis, are they all related to one another?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: These three entities are different entities with different causes and treatments. They are only related in the sense that they involve the nerves and fall under the category of neurologic disorders.
