Hi dear,
For mental retardation patient difficult to accept changes in environment.
For behavior disturbance in mentally retarded patient there are many medication but choosing depend on personal profile and behavior problem.
so consult psychiatrist for detail history and treatment.
for diabetes you should consult physician.
medication to control behavior are Mood stabilizer like carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, sodium valproate, also antipsychotic like olanzepin, risperidone, haloperidol etc.,
also behavior therapy works best with medication.
Thank you
