There are likely many factors involved (outside of specifically diagnosed cases). Ask yourself this: What would it mean for stutter to be exclusively psychological or exclusively neurological? If the...

I don't believe the environmental factors like socializing and high school aggravate the stuttering. It is not the core. The core of the stuttering happening more and more during puberty is the sex ho...

If it's only psychological, why does stuttering run in families? Why do brainscans show stutterers have abnormal brains (high dopamine spikes)? Why does research show stutterers have a restricted bloo...

Because that’s a very basic view of dopamine. Dopamine isn’t just a thing that makes you happy. Its a neurotransmitter with many different places it can bind to. Dopamine is responsible for movement ...
