What Causes Difficulty In Talking And Walking?

My daughter is 28. She started to have a speech (talks like she is deaf or mentally retarded) and dexterity (drops things and trips/can’t walk) problem. She has been to 3 different hospitals and through several tests. They said there are no physical or neurological problems. They said it maybe stress related. Does anyone have more information on this subject?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

I hope you have got all the required imaging investigations done before getting her cleared for possible neurological problems. I have been attached to a psychiatry research institute and have come across patients with similar problems. There can be certain thoughts in her mind which need redressal and to be solved. It is essential that you take her to a psychiatry clinical and get her evaluated in detail. There are conditions in which an adult can get withdrawn and starts behaving in a strange way and that can be uncomprehending on doing regular tests. This needs special assessment of her cognitive and higher mental functions and possibly the participation of a clinical psychologist.
