"Of Mice and Men"... Do you muse Lenny have a mental condition?

Lenny is really slow, he seems to have the mind of a child. Do you think he have some sort of mental illness or condition that rendered him so unintelligent?
Answers:
I think he was born beside a mental condition.
Yes, I do. Depending on the choices made by director and entertainer, Lenny appears to be mentally retarded in many stage and movie productions. However, since retardation and violence (even unintentional) don't turn together, the author probably intended the diagnosis to be unknowable.
Yes, he had special desires. Which is why he never really got it and did not know his strength and would kill things on accident, but after felt really bad because he wanted them as a friend.
It's quite measurable that he was mentally handicapped.
yes, just a retard would kill a person like that.
clearly. nobody normal behaves like him.
Obviously he did. If there is anything from that book I remember it is that Lenny was a bit shall we say Less Accountable
He be slow. He didn't understand right and wrong in many situations qualify him as mentally instable or again as I like to call it, Less Accountable
