A member asked:
I think i may have selective mutism, because i can't talk in certain situations; however i have dp disorder, could that be the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The answer is yes: Yes it could be dp disorder or both the answer is to help for the problem and not to spend too much time on the dx. If speaking up is a problem focus on that in counseling.
