Mental Health and Dyslexia 3 Studies you should know

More often than not, dyslexics tend to feel very uncomfortable in school. It can be traumatic and have long-term consequences like, for example, PTSD. We see unsurprisingly that dyslexics rate their overall well-being as low, especially in school. They might fear humiliation when reading out loud in front of the class. Often they are victims of bullying, and experience low self-esteem due to repeated failure. Dyslexics commonly exhibit very high anxiety levels and depression.
So, dyslexia is definitely not just a difficulty in reading and writing. It can have a profound impact on an individual's life and especially on their mental health.
