Just because someone is a psychiatrist this does not automatically mean they are well read on what's going on in the brain in a person who stutters. Social anxiety can be involved in stuttering, but s...

Even my psychiatrist told me that my stuttering is because of social anxiety, and I focus too much on not stuttering which makes me stutter but he didn't suggest me to take anything. He told me to foc...
