For many people with and without Down syndrome, self-talk serves many beneficial functions. For example, athletes may use self-talk to encourage themselves through a training session, game, or competition. While some people self-talk internally, others talk aloud to themselves or to an imaginary friend.

Sometimes, self-talk can be misinterpreted as a sign of mental illness. Self-talk in and of itself usually is not a sign of mental illness in people with Down syndrome. However, a change in self-talk may indicate a medical, social, or psychological concern or stress.

Our Resource Library has more information about self-talk in the article linked below.
