Unfortunately, over time, some dyslexic learners develop a state of learned helplessness. This may be through becoming dependent on others for support. Feeling hopeless in the face of challenges is very damaging, and can result in disconnection and depression.

Unrecognised and unsupported dyslexia is a destructive combination. Sometimes disruption is caused because the work and the situation feel threatening. Handing out reprimands only serves to re-enforce poor self-image and does not change the situation. Lack of support and understanding perpetuates behaviour problems.

In order to increase self-esteem, always ensure that goals are achievable. Thoughts, feelings, and actions are all woven together; so, when a task is set that is not achievable, the inevitable impact is feelings of shame. Self-belief has an impact on your outcomes and potential.

The experience of growing up with dyslexia is often characterised by delays to identification, diagnosis and intervention. The process of recognising that you are out of step with others is distressing and depressing. Anxiety is very common.

Provide opportunities to talk about the learning journey that has been experienced. Listen to any worries, concerns and anxieties. Encourage opportunities to share and talk through what could be done differently. Discuss what feels threatening and what sort of emotional responses they feel. Ensure that this discussion feels safe, confidential and is supportive in tone.

Understanding the impact of dyslexia on mental health is something that all employers, educators and parents could, and should, be more aware of. Just as we are all unique in our reactions to challenge and adversity, the emotional repercussions of dyslexia are unique to the individual. In order to provide more effective support, here are five key issues around dyslexia and mental health that we should try to understand better.

Dyslexic learners may be dealing with a cocktail of difficulties. Many learn to mask their difficulties and find strategies to go under the radar. The emotional cost is not always obvious, and our lack of understanding is part of the problem. Often internal dialogue that is taking place is cluttered with negative self-talk, frustration and anxiety.
