6. Dysarthria
Dysarthria is the medical term for when somebody is slurring their words. It usually happens in people that have been drinking alcohol and/or using other drugs. It is also a sign that there might be a problem, such as ataxia.
If you are experiencing difficulty speaking, or if you know somebody that is, then medical advice should be sought as soon as possible. This is especially the case if it comes on suddenly because it could be a sign that the patient has suffered a stroke. If a stroke is suspected then the victim should be found emergency medical assistance without hesitation.
