Causes of Stuttering — 1 Comment

  1. Hi Marissa, I know of no cases where a drug has caused stuttering. Onset in people older than about 12 could be due to some type of trauma, such as a head injury or stroke. The symptoms you describe are consisent with neurogenic stuttering. He may also be displaying psychogenic stuttering, caused by an emotional trauma. Pyschogenic stuttering usually resolves when the patient resolves his or her emotional issues. Thank you for your question and best wishes to you in your studies.
    Kind regards,
