MyNDTALK - Selective Mutism - Dr. Veronica Raggi
Selective mutism (SM), is best understood as a childhood anxiety disorder characterized by a child or adolescent's inability to speak in one or more social settings (e.g., at school, in public places, with adults) despite being able to speak comfortably in other settings(e.g., at home with family). Today, MyNDTALK is joined by Dr. Veronica Raggi of Alvord, Baker & Associates (Rockville, MD) to discuss what selective mutism is and is not.
