Fluency disorder in adults, often referred to as stuttering, is a speech disorder characterized by disruptions in the normal flow of speech. These disruptions can lead to difficulty in communicating effectively and may cause feelings of frustration, anxiety, and self-consciousness.
The prevalence of fluency disorders in adults varies, but it's estimated that around 1% of the adult population worldwide experiences some form of stuttering. The severity of the disorder can range from mild to severe, and it can impact various aspects of a person's life, including social interactions, professional activities, and self-esteem.
