Aphasia Following Brain Injury or Stroke | Ohio State Medical Center

Aphasia is a loss of language ability following traumatic brain injury or stroke. As Tracy Shannon, PsyD, a rehabilitation psychologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, explains, there are different types of aphasia. Expressive aphasia is a loss of the ability to find the words you need to communicate. Receptive aphasia is when there is an inability to understand. Global aphasia encompasses all those issues.

I have transient aphasia, which was caused by my complex migraine. I’m currently on my 5th day of aphasia and it’s really annoying. I know exactly what I want to say and I can say it so perfectly in my brain, but when I talk out loud I cannot put together the words. it’s awful and humiliating. I’m only 16 and I had to miss a week of school because of this. just praying for my words to come back🙏

I had severe traumatic brain injury and aphasia. America needs more of an education on aphasia. I had to be my own coach and learn how to speak again, write, watch tv and communicate - I want to give speeches now and show my b
rain scans.The brain is the number one muscle and we should show my scans since I came out of my coma to learn what recalibrating the brain and rebuilding back looks like

I take care of people like this at work. His name is Bryce an he gets so riled up I put a hand on his shoulder an say "I'm here buddy let's sit an watch a show" he seems to always be fumbling his words like he's in a panic state an the words roll out

I think I have Expressive Aphasia but its not as bad as others however no one here in my city seems to know much about this and so I'm left in the dark with my own research. They think I have these "Mirco Strokes" after 2 brain stents that have caused this. I need help

Can receptive aphasia apply to reading?

Yes! A person with aphasia may have impaired reading as part of their receptive language impairment. This is often referred to as "Alexia".
