Stuttering is rarely psychological. Most of our stuttering is normal neuro based developmental stuttering. Only stuttering when you're nervous doesn't make it psychological. ...

In some cases it can be physical but most of the time it's either a psychological or a neurological issue. If you stutter by yourself than its probably neurological....

I did NOT start HRT to treat my stuttering and I do not advise people to do so. To answer your questions: HRT has helped me become calmer because testosterone causes aggression. I don’t believe that ...

I have a neurogenic stutter, different than most of the stutters on this subreddit. I saw several speech pathologists and they all pushed me to do logic puzzles and brain apps like Elevate or Peak. I ...

I'm not saying that it's caused by a dopamine imbalance but people who stutter do have abnormal brain structures and there are studies showing dopamine agonists helping. There's undoubtedly a physiolo...

"It's open season when someone stutters" - does your family stutter too? I don't get it. I don't know if I'd cause a scene, but I'd inform them that stuttering is the result of a dopamine imbalance m...

Intensive speech therapy can do wonders. I had the same problem and once I completed it my mom told it it was like she "got her son back." Stuttering will rob you of yourself if you let it. I'd also r...
