How Can Stuttering With Lack Of Speech Control Be Treated?
Hello! I have this strange problem. I can't control the way I speak sometimes. I start speaking really fast when I'm even a little bit nervous and I can't seem to control it anymore. It feels like my jaw can't move and I can't even start a sentence and I start stuttering. I speak okay on a daily basis, though. I visited a neuro consult yesterday, but all she told me was to "stop being so stressful about things". Is this a disease? Is there a way to cure this or should I visit a speech doctor or something? Thank you!
