Good Morning ~ Stammering or stuttering is a speech disorder and it can be very effectively managed with speech therapy and medications. Usually, the condition is worsened with severe anxiety and the medications that relieve anxiety, either in performance situations like giving a speech or talking on the mike or answering a question when asked in a crowd in random is usually treatable with medications. It can be controlled with calming yourself and telling yourself that you can always do better and the crowd does not know as much information as you do and be confident that you are going to teach them some amount of information. Sometimes, medications can help take the edge off and help with anxiety disorder which exaggerates stuttering or stammering.

Stammering is typically recognised by a tense struggle to get words out. This makes it different from the normal non-fluency we all experience which includes hesitations and repetitions. Commonly it involves repeating or prolonging sounds or words, or getting stuck without any sound (silent blocking). Sometimes people put in extra sounds or words. Often people lose eye contact. Some people who stammer talk their way round difficult words so that you may not realise they stammer at all. This avoidance of words, and avoidance of speaking in some or many situations, is an important aspect of stammering. Stammering varies tremendously from person to person and is highly variable for the person who stammers who may be fluent one minute and struggling to speak the next.
