You need to make an appointment with a psychiatrist to address your depression and anxiety.  You may find that you have ADD also and this could also be treated and you would find that you might be able to concentrate better which would improve your memory.

Answer 6

The most important thing to do is to find out what kind of learning disability that you have. By knowing this, you can help yourself appropriately. Since there are many kinds of learning disabilities, knowing how to help yours depends on what it is. Here are some of the most common learning disabilities. See If any of them ring a bell.

A learning disability is a neurological disorder. The person's brain is wired differently and though he or she may be as smart as anyone else, they have trouble with reading, writing, organizing and remembering.  Some of the recognized learning disabilities that affect reading (and other things) are deficits in the following:

Auditory Sequencing - Confusion with number sequences, lists or lists of directions. Hearing ninety-four instead of forty-nine.

Auditory Memory - Difficulty remembering what was heard, difficulty remembering important items from a lecture. Spells poorly.

Visual Sequencing - Problems in using a separate answer sheet. Loses place easily. Problems with reading. Reversing or misreading numbers of letters. Reading words incorrectly. Difficulty with equations.

Visual Memory - Difficulty remembering what was seen. Reading comprehension. Difficulty with math equations. Poor recall of information.

Dysgraphia - Inability to form letters correctly. students cannot read their own writing.

Visual Motor Integration - Mechanical problems in test taking. Difficulty copying from board or book. Spaces poorly. Poor written work. Poor handwriting. Unorganized.

Non-verbal learning disability is a neurological disorder which originates in the right hemisphere of the brain, causing problems with visual-spatial perception, intuitive, organizational, evaluative and holistic processing functions.

Auditory Figure Ground - Trouble hearing sounds over background noises.

Visual Figure Ground - Trouble seeing an image within competing background. Picking one line of print from another while reading.

Visual Discrimination - Seeing the difference between two similar objects

Spatial Orientation - Loses materials. Late to class. Difficulty with oral reading. Unorganized homework. Difficulty judging time.

Expressive Language - Difficulty expressing themselves. Difficulty with accessing stored information and turning it into language.

Receptive Language - Appears to be "not listening". Does not respond promptly to cues. Does not understand long sentences or 3 step directions.

As you can see, there are many learning disabilities. Though they affect learning, they do not mean that anything is wrong with your intelligence. Most people with specific learning disabilities are normally intelligent or they wouldn't have that label. People who are not intelligent are usually labeled Educationally Mentally Handicapped or EMH. Your label tells you that you are normally intelligent.

I think the idea of going to a psychiatrist for meds make sense. You can also take copies of your psychological testing that placed you in special education and he or she can interpret it for you. If you are still in school, have your parents request that the school psychologist sit down and explain the testing to you or order new testing if yours is not adequate.

What is very important for you to realize is that you are normally intelligent.
