What causes stuttering?

Stuttering is an interruption of the flow of verbal expression. It is a complaint that has been known for centuries and has occurred in all cultures and ethnic groups. Stuttering is a symptom, not a disease, but the word stuttering is usually used both for the symptom and the disorder that causes it. The technical term is a persistent developmental stutter (PDS). There is also a acquisition or neurogenic stutter that occurs after brain damage. A neurogenic suffering may have stroke or head before getting stuttering. This is associated with the anxiety that the felter feels, which tends to promote a problem. At repeated values ​​of the same material, however, the frequency of stuttering tends to decrease due to adaptation and consistency.

PDS is very common. Approximately 1% of the population suffers from complaints, including estimated three million people in the United States and a total of 55 million worldwide. There is no difference based on social class and stuttering can seriously prevent communication,To cause very serious social problems for individuals. Stuttering can be a inherited problem passed from generation to generation.

Recovery rate in PDS patients is about 80%and the recovery rate is significantly more common in girls than in boys. It is not clear to what extent the recovery depends on the patient's efforts, unlike the help of speech therapists who use brass techniques to help patients overcome stuttering. There is also no way to predict whether the affected child will recover or not.

There are many different theories about the origin of stuttering its corresponding treatment. Some consider this to be learned behavior resulting from unfortunate home life and the way a parent reacts to the child's problems. The seriousness of the problem is clearly impairedBlink, just to find out that the problem disappears when they face.

Recent scientific findings from brain scan showed that stuttering has small abnormalities in complex coordination tasks. This suggests that the basic problems are located around the motor and related areas of the brain. As the brain scan becomes more and more sophisticated, we hope that more information about the language areas of the brain and the causes of stuttering will be available.
