Can emotional trauma cause stuttering?
Content
Can emotional trauma cause stuttering? 23 male. I’ve asked my parents about my stuttering and they said I never stuttered when I was younger. I started to notice the stutter after my 2 year of depression from unrequited “love” (basically I sat in front of the girl and her bf and witness them getting imtimate for a full school year). Was painful af.) and led to sleepless nights and unhealthy diets and started to overeat to cope. I was around 18-19 years old. Now I have a mild stutter. Anyone else had similar experiences where they develop the stutter as an adult from depression?
