That's great it worked for you! I don't think it would work for me though. Whether I'm actively trying not to stutter or not even thinking about stuttering at all, I can randomly get really big bloc...

Did your research include actual scientific research? Because the current scientific research points to stuttering being a speech coordination timing issue in the brain. For example last year it was d...

Ah, you are speaking colloquially. This is a subreddit for people who stutter (i.e., meet criteria for a diagnosis of stuttering). As in a persistent stutter under most conditions. The words you are u...

Stuttering and speech impediment are two very different but related concepts. A person can stutter without a speech impediment. For example, if a person goes on stage and is unable to properly speak ...

Stuttering is not a social anxiety issue. Yes anxiety can exacerbate a stutter, just like how anxiety can exacerbate pretty much everything. No one knows what causes stuttering outside of brain lesion...

My stuttering is neurogenic, so if people ask I tell them that. I don't bring it up unless people ask though because people get curious and start asking questions and I'd rather not go through my ent...

Most people use stuttering and speech impediment interchangeable so it causes confusion. Stuttering is a social anxiety issue. Speech impediment is a neurological condition wherein you involuntaril...

Is it a neurological problem? The research I have done has pointed more toward a social anxiety problem. But in my experience no one really cares about my stutter just as long as I am kind and respect...

"I have a neurological problem" - Explaining my stutter to other people

"I have a neurological problem" - Explaining my stutter to other people I've started to be a bit more open about my stutter. For example, when it happens in front of my coworkers, I make an effort to ...

Stuttering shares many characteristics that are consistent with tic behavior, 1) they are both largely involuntary, 2) both can be anticipated by the person 3) both could be considered a difficulty in...

My daughter (who has Tourette's) has a complex vocal tic that very closely resembles a stutter. It includes many of the same characteristics of "true" stuttering, but isn't. In her case, talking slo...

afaik, stuttering and tourettes are connected in as far as they are both categorized by dopamine dysfunction...

It's not uncommon and there is scientific research about it out there : http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/isad9/papers/snyder9.html Once again proofs that stuttering is a brain glitch / timing when trying t...

I dont think stuttering is a habit. I think its a neurological disability. We use our full brain to talk which isnt normal, sadly. Shocking your brain or wrist is basically akin to shock therapy on ga...

Thanks. I went to my GP and just had an MRI on my brain yesterday. Got called back to go in for more scans tomorrow. See what happens! ...

From what I've read I'm pretty sure CBD is the one acting serotonin receptors whereas THC acts primarily on dopamine receptors. I'm by no means an expert though, just someone like you who's interested...

Can you think of any other compounds that have any effect on the 5-HT1a receptor? Also, is CBD oil the same thing as hemp oil?...

I'm with you in thinking that stuttering is at least partly due to hyperdopaminergic activity in the brain, particularly the basal ganglia (and more specifically the striatum) from what I've read. I...

Stuttering, dopamine and serotonin

Stuttering, dopamine and serotonin Some research I found showed that there appears to be a dysfunction in the stutterer's brain relating to dopamine - stutterers tend to have too much dopamine. Perso...

SLP here. It's thought by some in the field that stuttering may be at least in part a mismatch between your speech production and your speech monitoring system (auditory feedback). The DAF app (I've n...
