00:00Do you know that there is a type of brain damage that can result in a condition that affects our ability to communicate?
00:09This is a type of language disorder.
00:11But before we talk about it, let's watch some more details about this disease.
00:16Let's all watch this.
00:19Once upon a time, there was a famous Chinese actress.
00:22She was diagnosed with a condition called aphasia.
00:25It is a condition that is usually caused by brain or head damage and injury.
00:30This condition affects the ability of a person to speak, understand, and remember words.
00:39Did you know that there are different types of aphasia and the symptoms depend on its type?
00:47How does it start and what should we know about it?
00:52Let's find out here in Say Me, Doc.
00:56To answer our questions about aphasia, let's listen to Dr. Donnabelle Chiu, a neurologist.
01:03Good morning, Doc.
01:04This is Prof. Fie, together with Diane.
01:06Rise and shine, Doc.
01:09Hi. Hello. Good morning.
01:12Doctor, for those unfamiliar with aphasia, what is aphasia?
01:17How does it affect the ability of a person to speak or understand?
01:22Aphasia is a language disorder.
01:27It is about how we communicate.
01:31Language has many different components.
01:37It can be understanding or comprehension, fluency or speech.
01:44It can be repetition or naming things.
01:48Aphasia is a disorder of language.
01:52Any impairment or problems in those components,
01:58such as understanding, speaking, or naming things,
02:03can affect the ability of a person to speak or remember words.
02:09It's actually called aphasia symptoms.
02:13As mentioned earlier, there are many different types of aphasia.
02:17It depends on which of the components or domains of language is affected.
02:24Doc, what are the common symptoms of aphasia?
02:27Why is it often associated with brain or head injury?
02:33Most of the time, aphasia is associated with stroke.
02:41Aphasia is a language disorder.
02:45It means that the part of the brain that is responsible for language is affected.
02:53Most of the time, it's the left brain or the dominant brain.
02:57Any injury to the brain,
03:00such as stroke, head trauma, or head injury,
03:06can affect the left brain.
03:10Aphasia can happen.
03:13It's not just a stroke or trauma.
03:18It's not just a stroke or trauma.
03:22It's not just a stroke or trauma.
03:27Aphasia can cause head trauma or head injury.
03:31There are rare conditions such as dementia.
03:35There is a type of dementia that causes aphasia
03:40or what is called primary progressive aphasia.
03:44It's any problems with the left side or left frontal in particular part of the brain
03:52can cause aphasia.
03:54Doc, how can we know if a person has aphasia?
03:58What are the symptoms?
04:03Like I said earlier,
04:05aphasia affects the domains of language.
04:09It affects comprehension, understanding, fluency of speech,
04:15repetition, and naming.
04:17To know if a person has aphasia,
04:20any of those components or all of them can be the same.
04:24If we talk about comprehension,
04:26if you ask a person anything,
04:30they won't understand it.
04:33But it's still a word.
04:35Whatever they say,
04:37sometimes it doesn't make sense.
04:39That's a type of aphasia called Wernicke's aphasia.
04:45It's fluent.
04:47It's a word.
04:49If you ask them,
04:51sometimes it's a different word.
04:54Another type of aphasia is called Broca's aphasia.
04:59It's non-fluent.
05:01Meaning, it's understandable.
05:03It's an intact comprehension.
05:05They can understand it,
05:07but it's hard for them to speak.
05:09Sometimes, they're the type of patient
05:11where it's hard for them to speak
05:13or it's hard for them to express
05:15what they want to say
05:17or what they need to find
05:19or they can't find the complete sentence
05:22that they want to say.
05:24It's like,
05:26it's hard for them to verbalize
05:30or the fluency is affected.
05:32Another type is difficulty in naming.
05:36If there's an object to identify,
05:39they can't say the name of the object.
05:42But if you ask,
05:44what is this for?
05:46How do they use it?
05:48What is it for?
05:50How do they use it?
05:52Or can they write?
05:54Can they write what they want to say?
05:56Those are the signs
05:58that the language can be affected.
06:00If we test those areas,
06:02understanding,
06:04comprehension,
06:06fluency,
06:08if the sentence is complete,
06:10if their pronunciation is correct,
06:12their answer,
06:14if there's repetition,
06:16if they're able to repeat,
06:18naming,
06:20if there's an object to identify.
06:22So there are different types of aphasia.
06:24But basically,
06:26those are the first examples
06:28that I mentioned.
06:31Alright, Doc.
06:33In terms of treatment,
06:35what are the common ways
06:37for people with aphasia to get better?
06:39Is there a therapy for this?
06:41What could be the treatment, Doc?
06:43So, number one,
06:45we have to identify
06:47what is the cause of aphasia.
06:49Of course, the cause
06:51will be treated or managed.
06:53For example,
06:55if stroke is the cause of aphasia,
06:57we will manage
06:59or treat
07:01the stroke,
07:03trauma,
07:05or any other
07:07illness.
07:09In terms of rehab,
07:11like speech therapy,
07:13we do have
07:15speech pathologists.
07:17They are the ones
07:19who go back and forth
07:21between speech
07:23and communication
07:25or communicating
07:27with our patients.
07:29It's a form of therapy.
07:31At home,
07:33we always
07:35tell our patients
07:37to be patient
07:39because
07:41it's hard for them to communicate.
07:43Sometimes, we need to talk to them
07:45in a simple way
07:47so that they can answer
07:49in short sentences
07:51and simple.
07:53Be creative.
07:55For example,
07:57if they are not fluent,
07:59they can't verbalize what they want.
08:01Give them devices
08:03so that they can communicate
08:05and show pictures
08:07but those therapies
08:09practice speaking
08:11through the help of speech
08:13rehab or speech therapy.
08:15Alright, Doc.
08:17Lastly, if we have a friend
08:19who has aphasia,
08:21how can we
08:23help them in
08:25their daily life?
08:27So, number one,
08:29if you are a new patient
08:31who has aphasia,
08:33the most important thing is to know
08:35why they have aphasia.
08:37Bring them to a doctor or hospital.
08:39Especially for sudden onset
08:41of aphasia,
08:43maybe
08:45it's a symptom
08:47of a stroke.
08:49Bring the patient
08:51to the hospital
08:53who has a sudden aphasia.
08:55If you notice,
08:57it's important
08:59for us to know
09:01the root cause of the aphasia.
09:03Now, if they are diagnosed
09:05with aphasia,
09:07bring them to
09:09the right management.
09:11Give them support
09:13in terms of speech therapy.
09:15Connect them
09:17to therapists.
09:19At home,
09:21we have to learn
09:23how to communicate
09:25with them.
09:27Make things simple.
09:29The more creative,
09:31the better.
09:33Remove distractions
09:35so they can concentrate
09:37and don't have a hard time.
09:39Basically,
09:41these are the things we can help
09:43patients with aphasia.
09:45Thank you very much,
09:47Dr. Donabelle, for answering
09:49our questions about aphasia.
09:51Remember,
09:53understanding aphasia is important
09:55so we can show more support
09:57for people with
09:59aphasia.
10:01Thank you, Doc.
10:03Thank you. Have a good day.
