Wernicke's Aphasia
Wernicke's Aphasia is a type of language disorder that affects a person's ability to understand and produce meaningful speech. It occurs due to damage in the Wernicke's area, a region in the brain responsible for language comprehension. Individuals with this condition often speak in long, nonsensical sentences and may use made-up words, making their speech difficult to understand.
People with Wernicke's Aphasia typically have fluent speech but struggle to grasp the meaning of words and sentences. They may not realize that their communication is impaired, which can lead to frustration in conversations. Treatment often involves speech therapy to help improve language skills and comprehension.
