Did OCD cause my mild case of stuttering?!


Question: Did OCD cause my mild case of stuttering?
I have been suffering from OCD for about 4 months now.
I got eyelid twitches from my OCD anxiety too.
But now I started having speech blocks/pauses...
Whenever I try to pronounce a word I just stop speaking and can't pronounce the word, I have to wait for at least 1 or 2 seconds to be able to pronounce it again, all goes back to normal after that.

Your OCD might have triggered the onset of the stuttering but is probably not the cause. The exact cause of stuttering has not yet been identified by the medical community. It is largely thought to be a genetic trait handed down through generations. Studies have shown that many more stutterers have a family history of the condition than do not. It is mistakenly believed that for this reason, stuttering was a gradual process, however it is quite common for genetic diseases to begin suddenly and set in with full symptoms without a prolonged period of worsening. Certain conditions, however, may trigger the onset but they are usually not the cause.
