Childhood Psychiatry Disorders: High yield for USMLE
when i found out i had this, it made so much sense. for a long time i thought i was just terrible with math/numbers in general.
PSA!
Found this on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5th edition (DSM-5):
“Specific learning disorder may also occur in individuals identified as intellectually "gifted." These individuals may be able to sustain apparently adequate academic functioning by using compensatory strategies, extraordinarily high effort, or support, until the learning demands or assessment procedures (e.g., timed tests) pose barriers to their demonstrating their learning or accomplishing required tasks.”
It means that even if you were a star child in high school or middle school you could still have a learning disability. If you’re struggling with higher education and don’t understand why, the reason could be an undiagnosed learning disorder.
Don’t stress yourself over, go seek a diagnosis.
Best luck!

20% of the population has dyslexia and over 50% of prison inmates are dyslexic
"… children who speak a language at home that differs phonologically from the language of academic instruction are not more likely to have phonological deficits…. Risk factors for learning problems among refugee and migrant children include teacher stereotyping and low expectations, bullying, ethnic and racialized discrimination, parental misunderstandings about educational styles and expectations, trauma, and postmigration stressors."

"Specific learning disorder occurs across linguistic and ethnoracial backgrounds and across cultural and socioeconomic contexts but may vary in its manifestation according to the nature of the spoken and written symbol systems and cultural and educational practices. … In the English language, the observable hallmark clinical symptom of difficulties learning to read is inaccurate and slow reading of single words; in other alphabetic languages that have more direct mapping between sounds and letters (e.g., Spanish, German) and in nonalphabetic languages (e.g., Chinese, Japanese), the hallmark feature is slow but accurate reading."
American Psychiatric Association. (2022). Neurodevelopmental disorders. In Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (5th ed., text rev.).
"A third core feature is that the learning difficulties are readily apparent in the early school year in most individuals. However, in others, the learning difficulties may not manifest fully until later school years, by which time learning demands have increased and exceed the individual’s limited capacities."
