The treatment of cognitive-behavioral disorders depends on the specific condition detected.
In the case of genetic disorders, a specific treatment is often not possible, but early analysis and detection are always necessary.
In the case of metabolic disorders, there are specific diets or medications aimed at fully or partially correcting the detected metabolic disorder.
Human genome ultra-sequencing currently allows the detection of hundreds of genetic alterations from a small blood sample, from which genetic information is extracted. There are databases in all developed countries that, working in a network, share information to group sporadic cases from around the world, enabling joint research into how these alterations affect a person’s behavior or learning.
Likewise, the biochemical study of the body’s metabolic pathways is becoming increasingly comprehensive, allowing the design of specific drugs for each situation.
A new treatment approach, currently under development, is the shift from pills to cells as therapy—working directly on the affected cell to modify its behavior. This approach is still very preliminary, but it is a field that will undoubtedly see significant development in the future.
