What should I do if I stutter for three years and feel depressed?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor~ Since middle school, I've had stuttering, and it's still going on until my sophomore year. When I speak, I get nervous and can't speak properly. It feels like there's a big stone in my heart, like I can't speak, can't speak, but still want to speak, and then I'm in a dilemma.

Doctor's answer:

The most important thing is to be confident and to relieve tension. Tell the people around you that if you stutter, they are not allowed to laugh at you or correct you. Don't be afraid either. If you pass this time, it's over. You can speak better gradually in the future. Practice in front of a mirror by yourself, and it's best to find a good friend to chat with you. Over time, your tense nerves will relax, and you might even be a skilled speaker.
