Statistics of people face learning disabilities and mental health.
Just let you know these numbers may not be completely correct,
it is just a rough number of people
who are facing learning disabilities and mental health problems etc.
In the USA, there are at least 8 percent of people
facing learning disabilities. Roughly 20 percent of
them facing Attention disorders according to my research.
There are about four million of them under
the age of 18 who face a learning disability.
There are about 48 percent of people with
a learning disability in employment.
Research says that learning disabilities
are more common in boys than girls.
There may be 40 percent of people who
may have a learning disability of some sort.
Dyslexia and ADHD affects roughly 6 percent
to 10 percent of young people.
In the UK, there are roughly 349,000 children from 0 to 7
years facing disabilities and special education needs.
That is probably higher than it was when I was a child
with special educational needs, yet I went to special schools in the UK.
The UK probably have roughly 2.16 people with learning disabilities
altogether whereas, says the USA has 15 percent of their people.
If this is the case, there is not much difference in the numbers between the Uk, and USA.
I was looking on the Mencap website, it is no surprise to find that the health care
system for those with disabilities and mental health is completely shocking or is it?
I am yet to research the USA for health care for
people with disabilities and mental health.
There are roughly 5 to 15 percent of children were
struggling with learning disabilities in the USA.
About 22.8 percent of adults faced mental illness in 2021.
4.6 percent of adults faced mental distress.
10 percent of children between 3 and 17 may be undiagnosed
with such mental illness as Anxiety and Depression in the USA.
Mental illness is probably more so, in people all ages
in people who face learning disabilities, than those who do not.
1 in 5 face mental illness.
1 in 20 elderly people face mental illness.
1 in 6 young people face health disorders.
50 percent have lifetime mental illness.
Suicide seems to be sad between say children as young as 10 to 14, maybe longer and older
which is shocking but not surprising my mind as I
would say the hardest part my life was when I was those ages.
They normally face emotional problems such as school bullying, abuse, exam stress,
if parents do not get on, parents parting, divorcing etc.
4.6 adults have reported mental distress driving them
to smoke, maybe drink heavy, addictions etc in the USA, probably all ages.
This number is probably high but may not be as high as the UK.
These people, or most of them may face sleeping disorders,
Anxiety, Depression, Obesity and more.
The Uk faces roughly 1.5 people with learning disabilities.
1 in 4 facing mental health problems.
Most people may be overlooked and undiagnosed.
There is roughly about 2’050 people with Autism and learning in the UK,
who are patients in mental health hospitals in England.
Therefore’ wonder whether if the reasons are
due to mental health problems or other reasons or both.
When I worked for Mencap, it was said that they were closing a lo
of long, short stay hospitals, residual homes etc down
and encouraging people with learning disabilities to live
out in the community to be supported by family or services.
Now in 2025, the USA has at least 5 to 15 percent children struggling with a learning disability.
About 22.8 percent adult s were struggling with mental illness in 2021,
4.6 percent adults are struggling with mental distress,
10 percent of children aged 3 to 17 are diagnosed with Anxiety.
Learning disabilities do not really connect to mental health.
However,’ at least most people all ages who face learning disabilities face mental illnesses as well.
At least 4 percent of people are diagnosed with depression.
At least 1 in 5 under senior age face mental illnesses.
At least 1 in 20 seniors face mental illness.
At least 1 in 6 people face mental health disorders.
At least 50 percent of people have life – time mental illnesses.
Sadly, most children as young as 10 to 14 face suicide.
26 percent of Americans 18 and over face mental disorders.
In the UK, roughly about 1 in 5 people with a learning disability according to Mencap. At least 25 to 40 percent of these people face mental health problems. Most may be overlooked and undiagnosed.
There are about 2,050 of people with Autism not in independent living, many are in short or and long stay hospitals, Inpatient Mental Health hospitals in England. When I worked for Mencap, the government promised that most if not all residual care, hospitals, place like that would be closed and people with disabilities and other problems would be encouraged to live out in the community with the right support.
How much or how little or not at all, has did happened since 2007 to 2011 to 2025?

There are at least 15 percent of people who are students worldwide who have learning disabilities.
Such learning education difficulties as Dyscalculia and Dyslexia affects about 10 percent people worldwide, 1.7 percent of people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), which is 2 to 10 percent common among young people worldwide struggling reading, writing, math, etc including UK and USA. ttps://www.mencap.org.uk/learning-disability-explained/research-and-statistics/health/mental-health
