How is this weird picture mocking legitimately depressed people going to inspire anyone? Stuff like this completely ignores that the most impactful stuttering is *blocks* that are basically mini-panic attacks. If this happens to you, you legitimately have anticipatory fear about most situation involving speaking. These people are far past the stage of worrying about speaking with rrrrrrrepetitions. They simply sometimes cannot make any sound come out. They may have arranged their life to avoid speaking to people. That involves eliminating most typical activities. This all heavily contributes to severe depression, anxiety, agoraphobia, unemployment, social isolation, etc
