Does someone with mental illness have a learning disability?
Mental illness and learning disabilities have no general connection.
A mentally ill person is no more likely to have a learning disability than anyone else (although their condition might create circumstances that would make learning difficult for other reasons).

What happens when you get dyslexia?
... then apparently you also have trouble forming complete and coherent sentences.
That aside, "dyslexia" refers to a difficulty in reading, due in part to mistaking visually similar letters such as b and d. Since you didn't actually finish your question, it's hard to say what else you wanted to know about it.
Whilst this is true dyslexia just means that you have different abilities and difficulties than "the norm". For example spelling and reading may be some of the things that you find most difficult. But when other people cannot see things from a different angle and cannot find solutions to problems, YOU CAN. A lot of dyslexic people are a lot more creative. AND within the sector of the world deemed "exceptionally successful" 40% are dyslexic opposed to the 10% of the overall population of dyslexics. This shows that dyslexic people can do anything they want should they want too. :)
