My stuttering came back 1 year ago and it's getting worse day by day, I don't know what to do... Hi. First of all, this is my first post here and I'm sorry if a topic like that has been discussed before. So, I started stuttering when I was about 3 or 2 years old. My mom took me to a psychologist in 4th and 5th grade but it didn't help much. But I suddenly stopped stuttering in 7th and 8th grade without a reason. Then I started stuttering again when I entered high school. But the problem is, I was only stuttering when I tried to read something in school. I wasn't stuttering in my daily life, so stuttering wasn't a big deal for me in those days. But I changed my school in 10th grade (I'm in 10th grade now) and I went through some major depression a few months ago (it wasn't because of stuttering), I went to a psychologist and I started taking an antidepressant called Prozac. I started stuttering in my daily life after taking that antidepressant and it's getting worse day by day. I don't know what to do, I want it to be gone like it did in 7th and 8th grade, but it doesn't seem like it's gonna happen. Also a part of me doesn't want to go to a psychologist again because I don't want stuttering to be a thing in my life, but a part of me knows that it's not gonna stop if I don't do anything to stop it. Please help me, I need your advice. Thanks in advance.
