Foreign accent syndrome: The condition that can make you speak with a foreign accent overnight

Foreign Accent Syndrome (FAS), particularly its psychogenic form, is a rare speech disorder where individuals develop accents without brain damage, linked to psychological factors. This condition, representing about 14% of FAS cases, often coincides with psychiatric conditions and arises from psychological stressors. Accurate diagnosis requires a multidisciplinary approach, focusing on addressing underlying psychological conditions and speech therapy.
