What is aphasia? Aphasia is a language disorder that affects how a person communicates with others, writes Hopkins medicine. There are three types of the condition, including Broca’s aphasia, global aphasia and Wernicke’s aphasia. All three types interfere with a person’s ability to speak and/or understand language.

The disorder is caused by damage in a particular area of the brain that controls comprehension and language expression.

Many people who are diagnosed with aphasia suffer a stroke beforehand, although not every single person with the illness has had one.

The damage caused to the brain results in a blockage or rupture of a blood vessel in the brain, which is why a common cause can be a stroke.

A person with aphasia may still be able to speak but not convey all words in a sentence, and in some cases might be able to understand the speech of others fairly well. Each patient’s condition will differ from the next person, and on what type of aphasia they have.

After hearing the news of the Die Hard actor, fans have been concerned that Bruce Willis suffered a stroke. His family have not revealed the cause of his condition or detailed when he began to develop symptoms or when he was diagnosed.

What causes aphasia? Is the illness permanent?

According to the Independent, another cause of aphasia could also be a head injury. Nonetheless, the damage caused may see patients never regain their full speech and language skills.

John Hopkins Medicine also detail that brain tumors, infection or dementia can lead to aphasia.

The condition is usually treated as soon as possible to prevent further damage. The recovery process is vital as it helps a person rebuild or learn a new way of communication.

Speech and language therapy are common recovery programmes to help those diagnosed with the condition.
