That is not true. Go to another doctor.

You don't need to go to a doctor as they don't know anything about stuttering. He may have said you were depressed because you were upset about the stuttering.

The following information is from The Stuttering Foundation:

What causes stuttering? There are four factors most likely to contribute to the development of stuttering: genetics ( approximately 60% of those who stutter have a family member who does also); child development (children with other speech and language problems or developmental delays are more likely to stutter); neurophysiology ( recent research has shown that people who stutter process speech and language in different areas of the brain than those who do not stutter); and family dynamics ( high expectations and fast-paced lifestyles can contribute to stuttering).

Stuttering may occur when a combination of factors comes together and may have different causes in different people. It is probable that what causes stuttering differs from what makes it continue or get worse.

Go to a speech therapist who specializes in stuttering or get The Foundation's book "Self Therapy for the Stutterer" as it helped several uncles and cousins of mine who used to stutter.
