- Did you know that anxiety disorders affect approximately 19 percent of people in the United States? It’s true; for many, these anxiety disorders are left untreated, commonly leading to speech problems. Speech therapy is a valuable resource if you or a loved one are living with overwhelming anxiety. This video will discuss how anxiety can lead to speech problems and provide insight into how to deal with anxiety and the speech problems caused by anxiety using speech therapy.
Anxiety can be a normal and healthy emotion, but it can also become overwhelming and interfere with daily life. Depending on the severity of your anxiety, you may experience speech problems and physical symptoms, such as trembling, sweating, or dry mouth. These symptoms can make it difficult to speak clearly and confidently if not dealt with.
Using speech therapy to manage speech problems associated with anxiety has several benefits, including improving speech quality, reducing anxiety, and developing healthy coping mechanisms.

For the last 7 years, I've been experiencing health anxiety about different diseases. Recently, I feel like I'm having trouble speaking, but no one around me, including my wife, notices anything different. I'm convinced I have bulbar ALS and have started showing symptoms. Seven months ago, I thought I had a brain tumor and got an MRI, which was normal. I keep searching online about Bulbar ALS and now genuinely feel I have it. I've had similar anxieties about other diseases over the years and have seen many doctors with normal reports. I'm 40 years old and from India. What should I do? Please help me.
I have a speech impairment and I think it came from stress, anxiety and trauma. This was helpful.
I feel I have this same issue. I can't seem to articulate my words anymore like I used to. My tongue feels unnatural. What is yours like?
@@elzbauknecht It's hard to describe it bc, it's not a stutter. I can speak okay for one minute and the next my speech is all messed up...kinda like a stutter pause...like I said it's hard to describe and I feel it's something neurological between my brain and speech. I call it a speech impairment or speech hiccups. It seems like nervousness, stress and anxiety makes it worse. I've been trying to find out what it could be for a long time... nothing yet. I pray it goes away one day bc, it makes me less confident about myself. I use to speak very well smoothly and confidently. I do feel once I get control of everything that's going on with me and settle back down to normal physically, mentally and emotionally that it might go away. 🤷🙏✝️🛐
@@lisajones6839 I know exactly what you mean. You described it perfectly to what I am dealing with as well. I am feeling it's definitely anxiety related and pray regularly that I wake up on day and it's gone and life goes back to normal and it's not something I think about constantly anymore.
@@lisajones6839 exactly how i feel. Have you had any other symptoms with it? I have many but the speech and brain fog is what gets me down the most. I actually do hope it's anxiety as then i feel like i can at least maybe do something about it, but it's so hard to believe it's not something more. Especially when i don't even feel anxious sometimes and the symptoms persist
Is this true with all types of anxiety?

Good advice mem
