When a person is depressed they usually get pessimistic thoughts which in turn affects their confidence level and self esteem. And it becomes difficult for them to concentrate on their daily shores. You say u are 17yrs now. If at all you had dyslexia it would have been picked up earlier by your teachers. So currently with the given information I feel you just only having symptoms of depression. The severity and need for the medication needs to be assessed further. Once that is dealt you can look into your issues related to studies.
