What are the consequences of dyslexia?

Dyslexia can be associated with low self-esteem, difficulties in social relationships, behavioral problems, poor academic or work performance, and a higher likelihood of developing depression. All these aspects may be mitigated through early diagnosis and early interventions. Additionally, to decrease the stigma associated with dyslexia, it is also important to improve awareness among the general public and to offer people with dyslexia the appropriate supports, including emotional and social supports.^[1]
