WHAT IS DYSPHEMIA OR STUNNING?
The stuttering or stammering as more commonly known, is an alteration of verbal fluency . Dysphemia or stuttering is characterized by the frequent repetition or prolongation of sounds, syllables or words or by frequent doubts or pauses that interrupt the rhythmic flow of speech.
It is usual that during the learning of speech, the child goes through a period in which his speech is not very fluent, it is due to a normal stage within the development of language. Sometimes it may happen that suddenly and with just cause, you speak worse or even stop speaking, this may be due, for example, to jealousy or nerves about a change in your life.
In adulthood, dysphemia or stuttering can appear due to various factors such as that it has not been treated correctly during childhood, after suffering a cardiovascular accident, for emotional reasons or the experience of traumatic events or stress .
