Aphasia

Introduction

Aphasia is a neurological condition that affects a person’s ability to communicate, including speaking, understanding language, reading, or writing. It typically results from damage to the parts of the brain responsible for language, most commonly due to stroke. Aphasia can range from mild to severe and can deeply impact daily interactions and quality of life.


Understanding Aphasia :

Aphasia is not a disease, but a symptom of brain damage, especially in the left hemisphere of the brain where language centers are located. It can affect:

Expressive language (speaking and writing)

Receptive language (understanding spoken or written words)

People with aphasia may know what they want to say but struggle to express it or may not understand what others are saying.
