Those with these types of dysfluencies will exhibit the afore mentioned repetitions about once every 10 sentencesMistiming and stuttering are common ways that developmental dysfluency manifests itself. When a child mistimes, they prolong a certain letter/syllable in the word they are saying, thereby taking much longer for their sentence to be said. Pauses or blocking are another side effect relating to developmental dysfluency. This is when one inserts a silent interval within the word. Revision is similar to this but is the halting completely, mid-flow of a sentence and taking the thought in a different direction. There is evidence to show that this may not only be an issue of speech motor areas but also the auditory cortex. In a MEG study by Beal et al. they found that adults with "persistent developmental stuttering" or PDS, had slower cortical timing than those who spoke completely fluent. This shows us something is wrong in their auditory motor integration. As far as the underlying ailments behind stuttering, It is not well known whether this side effect has to do with "errors in linguistic planning" or issues with "access or retrieval of linguistic elements" and it could very well involve both issues.On occasion, children will go beyond the normal dysfluency patterns. Instances like the previously mentioned example indicate that the child is learning to use language. In contrast, children with stuttering disorder, will likely repeat sounds or one-syllable words three or more times. They may also prolong sounds for two or more seconds.
Medication
If the separation alone is not working, antipsychotics are often prescribed for a short time to prevent the delusions. Antipsychotics are medications that reduce or relieve symptoms of psychosis such as delusions or hallucinations (seeing or hearing something that is not there). Other uses of antipsychotics include stabilizing moods for people with mood swings and mood disorders ( i.e. in bipolar patients), reducing anxiety in anxiety disorders, and lessening tics in people with Tourettes. Antipsychotics do not cure psychosis, but they do help reduce symptoms; when paired with therapy, the person with the condition has the best chance of recovering. While antipsychotics are powerful, and often effective, they do have side effects, such as inducing involuntary movements. They should only be taken if absolutely required, and under the supervision of a psychiatrist. Therapy
The two most common forms of therapy for people with shared delusional disorder are personal and family therapy.Personal therapy is one-on-one counseling that focuses on building a relationship between the counselor and the patient, and aims to create a positive environment where the patient feels that they can speak freely and truthfully. This is advantageous, as the counselor can usually get more information out of the patient to get a better idea of how to help them. Additionally, if the patient trusts what the counselor says, disproving the delusion will be easier.Family therapy is a technique in which the entire family comes into therapy together to work on their relationships, and to find ways to eliminate the delusion within the family dynamic.
