i suffer with anxiety and i find that anxiety may affect your speech because of fear that you may not say the right thing.
can a severe anxiety/ panic attack affect your speech for a short period of time. when i talk my speech is off. . i had to major anxiety / panic attacks that affected my speech. however it was for a short period. but every since then when ever i get very upset or hear bad news my speech become mild to severe impared. my doctor gave me the name of this but i forgot. however my family noticed that the anxiety is becoming more severe and it is becoming harder to relate information to me that might upset me. i try not to let thing get to me but i just can't control it. it makes me very moody. home is me
