Psychological Factors
It is misconstrued that psychological reasons lead to speech impediments. The truth is that they do not
lead to stammering but they could
make it worse. These factors include low self-esteem, low confidence, high expectations from society, stress, performance anxiety, fast-paced lifestyles, comparisons with others, problems at home and the like. All these can aggravate the stammering situation and make it difficult to overcome it.
