Aphasia is a loss of language, not a loss of intellect. Aphasia can be characterized as a loss of being able to produce and understand verbal and written language. Many people do not understand why those living with aphasia have trouble producing or understanding language.
To clarify, our brains process the sounds we hear in conversation with other people, between characters in a TV show, or from an announcement on a speaker and translate them into meaningful words. Someone with aphasia may have damage to their brain in the area responsible for comprehending speech (Wernicke’s area). In contrast, other people with aphasia may have damage to the brain in the area responsible for producing speech (Broca’s area).
Depending on where damage occurs to the brain, a person with aphasia may have difficulty with one or more aspects of language.
Aphasia is typically caused by damage to the language centers of the brain, which are primarily located in the left hemisphere. The most common causes of aphasia include:
Depending on the cause and severity of aphasia, individuals with the condition may partially or fully recover over time, particularly with the help of cognitive therapy. However, aphasia can also be a permanent condition.
