Dear Sima, It's the combination of both... Yes, primarily, it is mentally tasking to always trying to make sure and appear fluent, which is not really possible. The more you try to hide the stutter, the worse it gets. And a bad experience like this creates a huge after-effect which can sometimes go on for days together. Hence, de-sensitizing oneself from the stigma is a significant step towards recovery. It is difficult, but then, Self Help groups can help the people who stammer to take this path.
