I have 2 boys, 19 and 22. Both have mental health diagnosis and learning disorders.

My 22 year old has Aspergers and Schizophrenia among a lot of learning disabilities. He had a 1 to 2 aid throughout high school and had an IEP plan since 1st grade. The schizophrenia came on later in life.

My 19 year old was diagnosed ADHD in high school. His 1st IEP was for a learning disorder with math. He talked all through his classes and fell way behind. The only way he graduated was because the high school had night classes for him.
He now shows signs of OCD, slight paronia, and high anxiety.

I have Bipolar. My husband is not diagnosed with a mental illness, but does suffer panic attacks.
