I think it’s fair to classify the majority of cases as an anxiety disorder. Most who stutter can speak fluently in some situations and struggle in others. Most wouldn’t stutter while alone or talking to a pet. I speak perfectly fine in a zoom meeting with 5 people, but get anxious and have blocks when in a meeting with 50 people. Nothing has changed other than my knowledge of audience size. Definitely a large mental component.
