Jim, There is a section on the Stuttering Home Page that has some links to information for physicians http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/kuster/infoaboutstuttering.html#pediatricians There have also been a couple of past ISAD online papers the talk about anxiety disorders: Stuttering and Social Phobia (Social Anxiety Disorder) by Larry Molt http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/isad6/papers/molt6.html What is Stuttering? -- defining stuttering from the speaker's viewpoint by Mark Irwin http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/isad11/papers/irwin11.html There are also a couple of links to websites addressing bipolar issues under the section on the SHP I have about suicide (http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/kuster/suicide.html If I am directed to or find reputable, freely-available material on the Internet about stuttering and concomitant mental health disorders, I would certainly consider adding it to the section for physicians. In the mean time, if you type the following key words in schoar.google.com stuttering OR stammering +"bipolar disorder" you will find several research articles that may be of interest to you. Some relate information about medications used to treat bipolar patients that may either exacerbate stuttering in some patients or have the opposite effect. You might also address questions about this issue to Dr. Nathan Lavid, a psychiatrist who is on this panel of experts this year.
