Mr. Starkweather, When you discuss depression as a related emotional aspect of stuttering, you mention that people who stutter dealing with depression get "stuck" in the grief cycle at the blaming stage. You then refer to people who stutter in this stage as blaming a "mythical neurological or genetic cause. In stating this, do you personally not believe in the possibilities of a neurologic or genetic etiology?
