What Is Aphasia?

For the reader’s reference aphasia is a condition that affects the person’s verbal & written communication. But people often get confused between aphasia and dementia, however, both are very much different. Dementia is a condition that is caused by a stroke or brain injury, which makes it difficult to carry out a daily routine like eating, drinking, or even bathing. While aphasia can occur in anyone going through Alzheimer’s disease, it may also occur from brain stroke. An aphasia patient can function with daily activities normally but when it comes to speech it is a dead-end.

Many times an aphasia patient can experience sleep apnea too. Even doctors suggest examining sleep treatment in combination with speech therapy because it may hold the key to enhanced speech therapy outcomes. But sleep problems can be treated with these prescribed medicines; Modalert 200, Waklert 150, or Modvigil 200. But you should completely avoid it if your doctor is saying to. 

There are many different types of aphasia that affect different parts of the brain. such as,

• Global Aphasia.
• Broca’s Aphasia.
• Mixed Non-Fluent Aphasia.
• Wernicke’s Aphasia.
• Anomic Aphasia.
• Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA)

Sleep apnea is your greatest enemy if you are suffering from aphasia. You might experience sleepless nights and excessive sleepiness during the daytime. Here are some tablets you can use to treat these symptoms; Artvigil 150 and Modafresh. But it is highly recommended to consult your doctor before taking these pills. 

However, Bruce is suffering from one called Receptive (Wernicke’s) aphasia which affects speech impairment and writing abilities.
