Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I occasionally use the wrong word in a sentence. For example, today I was talking about my daughters car and referred to it as a celica when I knew full well it was a civic. Usually, the wrong word begins with the same letter...but not always. Any ideas?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Excessive stress and lack of attention and concentration often causes these problems. I must acknowledge that almost all of us have some tongue slips and it is not necessary to have a pathology for same. In my opinion stress management can help you immensely.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
