The physical aspect of your body is not the only aspect that gets to experience conditions and illnesses. This can also be observed in your mental state. The only difference is at times, you cannot see it and there are no physical manifestations of this sickness. But sooner or later, you might be able to observe changes in the physicality of a person because of a mental condition.
Effects that can be expected include the changes in behavior. If the condition gravely affects the person, they might not act normal towards others and often think to themselves. Changes in their mind and mental capacities would be evident as well. There are times when they might become adults with intellectual disabilities which could provide disadvantages to the patient.
Several causes create these things to happen to someone. At times, this could be an inborn condition and the only way for cure is to constantly submit for treatment. Instances of accidents could also be the reason behind all of these. When it directly affects the head, some parts might be subject to damage.
People who get to encounter these individuals every single day must remember a few things aside from the fact that they do not have the proper mental functions that allow for common and normal interactions.

There are certain things that you would do well to remember when communicating with them to ensure they can understand what you are saying as well. When talking, talk directly. There is no need to use baby talk since they are adults and they could easily be offended because of this.
Most of these people are in medical facilities all the time. This means that they do not get out that often and they have no idea what words other people are using on the outside already. Because of this, it is not advised to speak to them using unfamiliar words. This will only confuse the both of you and make it difficult for them to understand.
