Aphasia

What is aphasia?

       Aphasia is the inability to understand and produce language. Aphasia can be caused by damage to the brain, including stroke and head injury. It can also be caused by a disease or condition called aphasia, which affects how your brain receives and decodes information so that you can speak and write.

Aphasia is a correspondence problem because of mind harm in at least one region of the cerebrum that control language. It can slow down your verbal correspondence (getting words stirred up while expressing), composed correspondence, or both.


Aphasia can bring on some issues with your capacity to:

                  * Read

                  * Write

                  * Speak

                  * Understand speech

                  * Listen

    There are maybe one or two sorts of aphasia. The sort relies upon the piece of the mind that has endured harm.

     As per the Public Aphasia Affiliation, aphasia influences around 2 million individuals in the US, yet many individuals have never known about it.

     Since somebody is living with aphasia doesn't mean they have a psychological problem or have brought down insight.

Who can acquire aphasia?

       Anyone can acquire aphasia, but it's much more common among older adults than younger people. People who have suffered strokes are also at risk for aphasia; this is because their brains have been damaged by the stroke itself, rather than the recovery process.

What causes aphasia?

      A number of different things can cause your brain to stop being able to process language correctly so that you can understand what others are saying or write words down correctly on paper or onscreen. Some causes include:


     * Strokes: Strokes happen when blood flow to part of your brain stops for some reason (like an injury or blockage), which damages nerve cells in that area of your brain.


     * Aphasia is a language disorder that occurs when a person's ability to understand and produce speech is impaired, usually due to brain damage.


       There are three main types of aphasias: agrammatism (also known as "agrammatic"), paragrammatism and mixed theraphia. Agrammatism is the most common type of aphasia and involves difficulty in forming words. Paragrammatism involves difficulty in spelling or reading words, while mixed theraphia means both types of difficulty occur together.


         Aphasia can be acquired or inherited. Acquired forms of aphasia are caused by an injury to the brain or damage to nerve cells; inherited forms are caused by defects in genes that control how neurons communicate with each other.


            Aphasia often occurs with stroke (caused by blood flow interruption), Alzheimer's disease (caused by dementia) or Parkinson's disease (caused by shaking). It can also occur as part of multiple sclerosis (MS) or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).


           Aphasia is a neurological disorder that affects the ability to understand and produce spoken language. It can affect both sides of the brain, as well as any other part of the nervous system. There are many different types of aphasia, but some common ones include:


         * Global aphasia: occurs when damage to the frontal lobe causes problems with speech production


        * Broca's aphasia: occurs when damage to Broca's area affects speech comprehension


       * Wernicke's aphasia: occurs when damage to Wernicke's area affects speech comprehension.


         Aphasia is a language-based disorder that affects how we understand, produce, and comprehend words. It is common in stroke survivors, though it can also occur as part of other neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease or Huntington's disease.

        There are three main types of aphasia: Broca’s aphasia (also known as expressive aphasia), where the person has lost the ability to produce speech; Wernicke’s aphasia (also known as receptive aphasia), where they have lost the ability to understand spoken language; and global aphasia, which encompasses deficits across all language functions. 

        Aphasia can be caused by lesions in the brain or due to damage from strokes or migraines. 

       Symptoms vary depending on which area of the brain is affected and how severe it is. Some common symptoms include: difficulty understanding or expressing oneself; confusion about what others are saying; trouble following conversations; trouble naming objects or people; repetition of words or phrases.
