Dr. Barbara Lavi answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

I'm not sure what: You mean by bad speech anxiety. Are you afraid to speak in public, in a group or with anyone? People can be helped with behavior modification techniques for these kinds of issues, but it is not really clear what about your speech is making you anxious. Please explain.

Dr Altman and another doctor agreed
