Five diseases that can be identified by a person's voice

With the development of science, scientists have discovered that you can sometimes tell by the voice whether a person is healthy. And here are some problems that changes that occur in the voice can indicate.

Most people's voice changes twice during their lives: in adolescence and in old age. But it also happens that the voice becomes different for another reason.

Cancer. If your voice has become hoarse, this may indicate cancer. The same goes for slurred speech. But it is necessary that this state persists for more than a few weeks.

Neurological and neurodegenerative diseases. For example, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, stroke. As for Parkinson's disease, it can make the voice softer than usual or more monotonous. In Alzheimer's disease, the content of speech changes: more pronouns appear in it instead of nouns and various pauses appear.

Mental and emotional diseases. For example, schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder. In a depressed state, it is easy to determine this by the voice. The same applies to episodes of mania (when the voice is more energetic and louder) and depression (when the voice slows down and becomes quieter). In schizophrenia, the voice can become monotonous, similar to a robot's voice.

Respiratory diseases. This can be chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or pneumonia.

Speech disorders. They occur in children. The voice can reveal speech delay, autism.
