Cortisol theory As we know, there is no cure for stuttering yet. Because no one understands its mechanism. But I noticed that stuttering people still have OCD very often. Just like me. Have you noticed that when we start talking, a severe panic attack, fear begins? Have you ever thought that ordinary people do not experience this, and therefore speak calmly. Maybe it's some kind of disorder in the body that releases cortisol at the moments of conversation, or is it just chronically elevated? I've heard that those with OCD have cortisol overestimated by 7 times! I think that for stuttering people it is also overestimated. And all the drugs for stuttering, they are aimed at calming down. And the question is, are there any drugs or other substances that lower cortisol? I heard that amino acids helped someone who stutter. (amino acids what also for cortisol down). I want to try and understand whether this is the direction for the solution. Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Russia
