Aphasia is a communication problem that can influence your voice, writing, and comprehension in both spoken and written form. Aphasia usually happens as a result of a hemorrhage or head trauma. However, it can also develop gradually due to a slow-growing brain tumor or an event that causes lasting damage. Aphasia severity is determined by various factors, including the source and extent of brain injury. Speech and language therapy are the major treatments for aphasia after the etiology has been identified. The individual with aphasia practices language abilities and learns to communicate in other ways. Members of the family are frequently involved in the process, assisting the individual in communicating.
