There is no proper treatment for Fragile X Syndrome although some therapy such as speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and psychotherapy, can help depending upon the child's symptoms. Also, certain drugs may be used to treat behavioral problems, such as mood swings and aggressive outbursts in order to calm the child down.
