[edit] Silence due to psychological issues

What about people who stop speaking, either temporarily or permanently, due to mental illness and/or trauma? Should this be mentioned here?

I was surprised that this was not an article, so I created it. The reason I looked it up was to find out information about it, so please help wikipedia (and me!) by expanding it. :D --Demonesque 02:26, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Mute should not be labeled a disorder if the person chooses to be mute. Rm999 04:35, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Wow, what a short article!.. and for something so known! It needs the anatomical or neurological causes for it. And maybe some stats. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.50.33.186 (talk) 00:10, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

You too can help. MrZaius^talk 09:48, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Page title

Why isn't this at muteness? That is the proper name for it, right? The disorder is not called "mute", that's what you call someone who suffers from it. We can make muteness a redirect, but it seems more sensible to me to do it the other way around. Deafness and blindness are not at deaf (disorder) and blind (disorder), after all. 82.95.254.249 21:09, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Very Short Article

This article is very short. I wanted to learn a little more. Especially since I'm doing research. What classifies a person of being mute? What are the psychological effects of being mute? Can the mute person make grunts? etc..71.142.214.138 (talk) 05:33, 14 February 2008 (UTC)Cardinal Raven
