I experienced this in 2021. Stuttered through my childhood and teens. Overcame it completely in my adult life. I ‘forgot’ I could stutter for many years. Became a decent public speaker and presenter. ...

I’m not looking for jobs because of my age 78f but I’m 100% fluent on the phone and even in person as long as the topic is stuttering! It’s as puzzling as your situation because we know it’s possible...

The pathological state (the stuttering) comes up when talking to other people and not when alone. Hypoactivation or reduced blood flow at rest don't mean that a person cannot talk fluently when alone....

I think lot of PWS have the same issue as you do, and I did too. Long story short, what I learnt is that our nervous system reacts to stressful situations by invoking the 'freeze' mode instead of figh...

Saying that oxygen homeostasis is impaired is the same as saying that overactive neuroinflammation is the cause of OCD. I mean, there is obviously neuroinflammation in specific parts that contribute a...

I never got checked for anxiety but I wouldn’t be surprised if have it, my family says my grandma has undiagnosed anxiety and that old lady is an anxious wreck as she ages. I can get the genes from he...
