How Can Dyslexia Be Treated?

Since the 5th grade school has been very difficult for me and I don't think I can graduate high school or be accepted into college. My school tells me it's my dyslexia but I think it's something more. My school doesn't help me with it besides small group testing and offering some to read questions for me. I can't focus my grade are awful and I it just leads me to think I'm an idiot. I should drop out and work in a fast food restaurant. I'm stressed, I feel at times suicidal. Please help

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello,
It's true and you are aware of that you are suffering from Dyslexia.... but at the same time you are also suffering from secondary depression.. the rest of the symptoms you have mentioned like sadness, decreased energy, not able to concentrate in studies.. thoughts of suicide..
are all because of depression..
Remember one thing.. depression is not difficult to treat.. Bt living with it without treatment is very difficult task.. for dyslexia you need more efforts to adjust with surroundings with less acceptance from others .this might Precipitate the depressive episode..
please consult Psychiatrist.. start with treatment.. you will definitely feel better..

OK..
