Aphasia :
Aphasia is described as a condition that affects a person's ability to speak and understand what others say, making it difficult to listen, write, read, and understand. Aphasia is categorized into several types, namely, anomic aphasia, Broca's aphasia, conduction aphasia, global aphasia, transcortical motor aphasia, mixed transcortical aphasia, primary progressive aphasia, Wernicke's aphasia, and transcortical sensory aphasia. The factors that are responsible for causing aphasia include brain tumor, stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), brain inflammation, brain infection and progressive neurological conditions like dementia and alzheimer's. Aphasia also occurs due to medical conditions like migraines, cerebral hypoxia, epilepsy, radiation therapy, transient ischemic attacks and brain surgery. People suffering with aphasia often feel frustrated, angry, isolated, and depressed, as it compromises the patient's ability to communicate their wants and needs. Aphasia management mainly involves speech therapy and treatment to address the underlying cause.
