What should I do if stuttering is getting worse?

Patient's question:

Speaking is very difficult, straining to blink the eyes, easily breaking out in a hurry, and becoming even more disorganized. It was originally corrected by the parent, but the situation has not improved, and it seems to be getting worse.

Doctor's answer:

Stuttering is a very complex speech disorder. People who stutter not only exhibit abnormal speech behaviors but often also experience emotional distress and changes in their attitudes and ways of dealing with things. The specific manifestations of stuttering vary greatly among individuals. Due to the complex nature of stuttering, its treatment is also very complex and diverse. Currently, stuttering treatment primarily focuses on non-pharmacological approaches, such as speech therapy, psychological therapy, bioelectric feedback metronomes, altering vocalization methods, delayed auditory feedback methods, and sound masking techniques, among others.
