Stuttering and keep forgetting words.

2017-03-08 20:49:55
I've got issues with my communication where im stutter alot and forgot the words I need to speak even in my own language. This problem started when I was in highschool. I read about this in e-book and it says that this an early symptoms of Alzheimer disease. Am I okey? Is there any medication I can take to reduce this problem? I really need help as I am an international student and need to speak English fluently.

It may not be Alzheimer. As you have mentioned,  that it is there since  your high school. As it is a Learned behavior,  you can come out of this problem with consistent speech therapy sessions and counseling. All the best.
