The article presents the relationship between stuttering and social phobia, which often accompanies stuttering. The first part presents diagnostic indications of social phobia and stuttering. The second part presents the effects of the treatment of social phobia with psychotropics, mainly antidepressants, which translate into a reduction, and in some cases even into the resolution of stuttering symptoms. This fact does not mean that treatment of people who stutter and suffer from social phobia should be limited to administering drugs. The prospect of discontinuing pharmacological treatment and maintaining the patient’s improved mental and social functioning requires the use of a parallel speech-language therapy aimed at enhancing the fluency of speech.
