I’ve always wondered if I were to have a severe head trauma and lost my memory, would I stutter? Does my memory tell me to stutter or is my stuttering a defect in my brain? Recent studies have indicat...

This happens to me as well, however, my stutter gets infinitely worse the few days after. I've heard it be called hangxiety (hangover + anxiety), but, whatever it is it makes me feel like I shouldn't ...
