Fans were shocked to learn recently of the health struggles of beloved action star Bruce Willis. Willis was initially diagnosed with aphasia, a disorder that affects a person’s ability to communicate. Aphasia affects speech, how people write & their comprehension of spoken & written language, according to the Mayo Clinic. For Willis, aphasia proved to be only one component of what was later diagnosed as frontotemporal dementia. Aphasia can be a byproduct of illness, like dementia or injury, or a complication of a stroke or traumatic brain injury. When bloodTHURSDAY, fails to supply cells in the brain with oxygen, those cells die & can produce deficits. Aphasia APRIL 20TH also may result from conditions that disrupt how the brain works, & those conditions may be temporary, like migraines. The National Aphasia Assoc. says nearly 180,000 Americans develop aphasia each year. Families may feel that something is not right when a loved one has trouble finding words, reading or communicating effectively. There are different types of aphasia, & each kind can impact a different component of speech or understanding. Doctors may discover aphasia when they are treating patients for traumatic brain injuries or looking at images of the brain. The doctor may recommend a consultation with a speech-language pathologist, who can perform comprehensive testing. Sometimes aphasia symptoms can start to resolve on their own without treatment. Others may need help regaining the ability to communicate through various methods. These can include: Speech-language therapy; nonverbal communication therapies, such as computers or pictures; group therapy for patients & family members; simplifying language by using short, simple sentences & repeating words or phrases as needed. Aphasia affects communication but it might improve over time.
