Psychosocial disorders and stress — ILO/PVFM has been associated with a variety of psychosocial disorders. However, it is not considered to be a form of malingering as patients do not intentionally produce their condition for secondary gain. In a prospective cohort of 45 patients, 18 patients were found to have conversion disorder and 11 patients were found to have no psychopathology [25]. In a series of military personnel with PVFM, 52 percent reported symptoms related to high stress and anxiety, while 39 percent reported symptoms during exertion [26].
ILO/PVFM patients with a previous psychological history are prone to symptoms of depression and anxiety. Several studies have reported an association of ILO/PVFM with a history of prior psychiatric illness, including depression, personality disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder, or a history of childhood sexual abuse [25,27-30]. In a case-control study comparing adolescents with PVFM to those with asthma, PVFM patients had higher levels of anxiety and more frequent diagnoses of generalized anxiety disorder and separation anxiety [31].

Vocal fry occurs when the vocal chords are in a relaxed state. It's natural to speak with some amount of fry.

Obviously, that is not what I'm talking about. Why would I make a thread about people talking normally? You make 0 sense.

I'm a singer and speak with a heavy amount of vocal fry due to training. I'm not a leftist in the least. What exactly are you talking about?

Vocal fry is used in Orthodox Chants, Mongolian Throat Singing, and probably some other forms of singing I've never gotten into. I used to play around with my jawharp a lot and sometimes throat sing. It can rough your vocal cords up and make you sound like you've had a nice pack of cigs especially in the morning when your male vocal chords are very relaxed. It's nice to know that I am a leftist know because of dabbling in some voice training though. Thanks OP. kek
