June is Aphasia Awareness Month. Aphasia is a communication disorder that affects more than 350,000 people in the UK, but do you know why it might happen after a stroke?

The brain is often talked about as having two halves: the left side and the right side. Language skills are usually on the left side.

Damage on this side of your brain may lead to language and communication problems, like aphasia. Damage on the right side of your brain may cause other problems, like poor attention or memory.

When different areas of the brain become damaged, they can cause different types of aphasia and associated language problems. These can include receptive aphasia and expressive aphasia.

Receptive aphasia is sometimes called Wernicke's aphasia. It happens when the area of your brain that controls language (Wernicke's area) is damaged.

Someone with receptive aphasia is usually able to speak well and use long sentences, but those sentences may not make sense.

People with receptive aphasia may be unaware that what they're saying does not make sense, so become frustrated when people don't understand them.

Expressive aphasia can be caused by damage to the Broca's area, and Broca's aphasia is one type of expressive aphasia.

People with expressive aphasia may only be able to say single words or very short sentences. They can usually be understood, but it can still be very frustrating for the person with aphasia.

You can read more about the types of aphasia, including anomic aphasia and primary progressive aphasia (PPA) on our website:https://brnw.ch/21x31oh
