Stuttering is also a medical condition though. Plenty of medical conditions aren't treated only with pills. I mean, some of the top resesrchers in stuttering are psychiatrists and speech therapists are often classified as clinicians. That's like saying anything treated by physical therapy isn't a medical condition. I'll go out on a limb and say that 50% is pretty good (if ecopipam does actually do that). Especially if you're a very severe stutterer. Very few stutterers reach complete fluency even with speech therapy and speech therapists will often tell you this. The best most can do is manage it.
