Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Could you please tell me what is aphasia?Doctor's answer:
Aphasia is a condition characterized by the inability to speak due to language function impairment and inflammation of some brain tissues caused by diseases such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, or brain tumors. Additionally, individuals with aphasia may experience changes in intelligence, such as memory, logical thinking, calculation ability, and attention. However, aphasia does not include language disorders caused by consciousness disturbances or general intellectual decline.
