Dyslexia and ADHD Impair Self - Esteem

According to Levinson's research and patient responses, dyslexia and ADHD impair self-esteem-- hence his book title, Smart But Feeling Dumb. In many ways, this is the most devastating symptom characterizing these disorders.

Harold Levinson, M.D. is a world-renowned psychiatrist and neurologist. He is credited with bringing about a dramatic medical breakthrough in the understanding, diagnosis and successful treatment of dyslexia and its many related signal-scrambling disturbances of the inner-ear and the cerebellum.

Dr. Levinson began his dyslexia research over 30 years ago within the New York City Board of Education. Formerly Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at New York University Medical Center, Dr. Levinson is now Director of The Medical Dyslexic Treatment Center (also called The Levinson Medical Center For Learning Disabilities) in Great Neck, NY. Dr. Levinson's research has been published in many scientific and peer-reviewed journals and reviewed by top media including The New York Times, Science, TIME, Smithsonian, "The Today Show" and "Larry King Live."

The Levinson Medical Facility for Dyslexia or LD is highly unique. For those children and adults with Dyslexia or LD, ADHD, Anxiety/Phobias and related disorders, an appointment at our Medical Center would ensure all with an accurate diagnosis. Most important, the test results will lead to rapid and often dramatic improvements in 75--85% of medically treated individuals. When effective non-medical therapies are added, 100% will benefit.

I think a big chunk of this pie is being told you’re lazy all your life. And just seeing how others seem to manage things you cannot manage easily.

I question myself often if I’m just really stupid, and I’m lying to the whole world because people think I’m intelligent and competent but I’m not. Trauma like what many people with dyslexia experience causes depression in anyone; dyslexic or not. I don’t really think it’s a symptom of dyslexia directly, rather it’s a byproduct of being called stupid and lazy your entire childhood.

I kinda sniff a bit of snake oil here, because there are loads of snake oil “cures” for mental health problems that prey on the vulnerable.
