Aphasia And What it Can do…
What are the 3 types of aphasia?
The three kinds of neurological aphasia are Broca’s aphasia, Wernicke’s aphasia, and global aphasia, which all affect your ability to speak and/or understand language. Treatment may include speech-language therapy, medications, and counselling and mental health support.
Aphasia is a disorder that affects how you communicate. It can impact your speech, as well as the way you write and understand both spoken and written language.
Aphasia usually happens suddenly after a stroke or a head injury. But it can also come on gradually from a slow-growing brain tumor or a disease that causes progressive, permanent damage (degenerative). The severity of aphasia depends on a number of things, including the cause and the extent of the brain damage.
The main treatment for aphasia involves treating the condition that causes it, as well as speech and language therapy. The person with aphasia relearns and practices language skills and learns to use other ways to communicate. Family members often participate in the process, helping the person communicate.
Aphasia usually occurs suddenly, often following a stroke or head injury, but it may also develop slowly, as the result of a brain tumor or a progressive neurological disease. The disorder impairs the expression and understanding of language as well as reading and writing.Mar 6, 2017
Some people with aphasia recover completely without treatment. But for most people, some amount of aphasia typically remains. Treatments such as speech therapy can often help recover some speech and language functions over time, but many people continue to have problems communicating.
-
stroke – the most common cause of aphasia.
-
severe head injury.
-
a brain tumour.
-
progressive neurological conditions – conditions that cause the brain and nervous system to become damaged over time, and dementia.
Aphasia is most commonly seen in patients who have had a cerebrovascular accident but can be seen in neuro-degenerative diseases (Alzheimer disease, frontal temporal lobar degeneration, etc.), vascular dementia, brain tumor, or traumatic brain injury. Aphasia is not secondary to damage to motor or sensory function.
Today, the family of Bruce Willis announced that the 67-year-old actor has been diagnosed with frontal temporal dementia (FTD), also known as frontal temporal degeneration. FTD is the most common dementia for people under 60, although it can also affect those in their 60s, 70s, or beyond.Feb 16, 2023.
Celine Dion and Bruce Willis were both affected by Covid 19, through integration neurons that were attacked by covid 19, through the Ace 2, and neurological damage done by pathogens from the Covid 19 spike protein that destabilized proteins, and killed cells in these areas. Celine Dion as examples, have a crippling muscular disease, and Bruce Willis has a Aphasia that attacks the brain and gives a disorder of Dementia.
