Everything known about Bruce Willis’s disease
Aphasia is a disease that takes away the ability to communicate. It affects the ability to speak, write, and understand verbal and written language.
It usually occurs suddenly after a stroke or head injury but can also happen from a slow-growing brain tumor or a disease that causes progressive and permanent damage.
The disease’s severity is dependent on conditions like the cause and extent of the brain damage. Once the cause is addressed, its primary treatment is speech and language therapy.
A person diagnosed with Aphasia relearns and practices language skills, learning other ways to communicate. Family members also participate in the process, helping the individual to communicate.
The most common symptoms include speaking in short or incomplete sentences or ones that don’t make sense. It includes substituting one word for another or one sound for another, speaking unrecognizable words, not understanding other people’s conversations, and writing sentences that don’t make sense.
Aphasia is a sign of a severe problem like stroke. An individual should see a doctor immediately if they face difficulty in speaking, have trouble understanding speech, cannot recall words, or encounter problems in reading or writing.
