A member asked:

What are the usual brain-related symptoms of lead poisoning?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends.: This depends on how much exposure there was. If a person has lead encephalopathy when chelation therapy is started, permanent brain damage, like cerebral palsey is a frequent consequence. Age-related mental decline and psychiatric symptoms also occur, and in young children it is linked to learning disabilities, lower intelligence, impaired coordination, less memory, and social impairment.
