No DMD Does Not effect one's mental ability, It is a muscle diseases, It has nothing to do with the brain.

DMD will not affect his mental health. Only CMD Congenital Muscular Dystrophy affects child's mental health. DMD children's IQ level is very high.

Presently, there is no cure in allopathic but you can try ayurvedic or homoepathic, atleast the disease will be slowed down. You can also look at stem cell treatment as an alternative.
