What are symtoms of mental retardation

My daughter who is 20 years old is facing some mental issues. She had undergone a trauma after her mother's death in a fire accident. She is becoming very restless and is showing abnormal thinking. Are these the mental retardation symptoms? If yes, then how can I tackle with this problem without troubling her more?

No it is not mental retardation. What is experiencing is completely normal. She was emotionally attached to her mother. This is an emotional outburst. Kindly consult with a clinical psychologist and start with therapy sessions for her.
