Thank you for sharing this. My eyes welled up. My mom is 91 and had a major left brain stroke. She made it through critical, but she now can't talk and we are not sure if she understand what we say. She does recognize us and responds sometimes with yes and no nods. We're always searching for inspiration and information that would be helpful. God Bless you all.
It’s not global aphasia,it’s more likely to be a anomic aphasia, as he understands what his daughter says-comprehension intact And his repetition is also good
@@bonniematthews4941 because he says yeah immediately after she says I'm your daughter and he responds in other places as well. Seems to understand what she is saying. With global aphasia, he wouldn't be able to speak back correctly either.
@@bonniematthews4941 Hi Bonnie. It's a really hard thing to explain in a way that other people understand. It's your language centre that shuts down. This is how I was diagnosed with a brain tumour, I was suddenly unable to speak, read or write. I was cognitively fine and able to get someone to take me to hospital by pointing the way, but totally unable to say left or right. (lots of crazy sign language to prompt them to say "do you need to go to hospital?"). I have had surgery and radiotherapy and most of the time I can speak and read fluently, but on a bad day, I am unable to do so. It does not affect your cognitive ability, I can cook, do carpentry and jigsaw puzzles and understand everything you say. I would be unable to tell you the town I was born in as the words are frustratingly just not there anymore, but I could bring up google maps and navigate to the town, street and house that we lived in, just not be able to say it. I could see from the video that he was aware and understanding everything and just trying to grab the closest word that would come to mind, even though he knew it wasn't correct. If anyone reading this interacts with someone who has non-dementia related aphasia, such as from brain cancer or stroke, please understand that they are probably alert and aware, but their language ability has gone. Just ask them questions and believe them when they nod or shake their head.
The global aphasia my partner is experiencing right now is a lot more severe then this. I'd give anything for them to recover to this level right here not knocking them or downplaying what they're going through. But my partner can't even speak at all and I just want some hope it will return but most of the videos I come across are people with moderate aphasia. I just want to know the likelihood of weather my partner will talk ever again the doctors don't know it seems nobody can know and it's killing me and I know it's killing her inside.
My mom has this. it's part of her dementia. it's frustrating for the caregiver and the patient. I feel like my mom knows exactly what she is saying but no one else does. She can't comprehend what I am saying, She just can't find the right words. She knows I am a familiar safe face, but not sure who I am to her. There are more symptoms due to dementia, but this is the hardest symptom. She started displaying symptoms that I did not think of anything back then, back in 2016. By 2019 she needed someone with her all the time, now in 2023, she needs full assistance with most daily activities. This can last a long time. Anyone in this situation, know you are not alone. Use all the resources you can to help yourself as a caregiver.
Exactly the same as my dad. It’s funny 🤣 and also heartbreaking. Dementia and aphasia together… I feel like a translator. My dad would have done it for me so I will do it for him ❤
I truly hope he fully recovered. My experience with Aphasia, I had a brain stroke this year and was affected with this. After a few weeks, my son and friends starting having humor with me with it because I was fully aware that the words I spoke were incorrect (couldn't say banana, etc.) but still couldn't say them. In our situation, it became very funny and we just went along with it as I healed. Not making fun of this, I had it, that was just how we dealt with it. Thank God that I'm recovering with it nicely 7 months later.
I think this is more of a mixed trasncortical aphasia because Gene can still repeat what he has just been told, because there isnt much fluency on his speech, and comprehension is not preserverd
OMG ! Same here. I never heard of this before ? I'm 54 and recently experienced difficulty having a conversation at work. I struggled with getting the words out and I was embarrassed because I was "stuck" in my head. I felt paralyzed.
@@Muthurtucker Not true. He has had a stroke and is experiencing global aphasia, which usually doesn't become chronic, but improves to become either wernicke's, broca's or anomic aphasia or may even improve enough to not fill the criteria for any aphasia.
He is well oriented as you can see from his reactions to what his daughter says, he just has difficulty speaking, not understanding, because the part of the brain that deals with forming the words is affected.
People with aphasia don't know that they are struggling so much. The sad thing is they think everything is mostly OK. Maybe that's better but it's hard to see they aren't themselves
It depends what areas of the brain are effected. If production is impaired but comprehension is in tact you’d be completely salient that you can’t make the words come out.
They know who they are, It is not a memory issue, It's a struggle with Speech Production (Broca's Aphasia I believe) :) But yeah, that seems so frustrating, bless them indeed.
@@maiziel1779 oh wow, That would be so hard 😭 being a prisoner behind your own tongue simultaneously being aware of it. My heart really goes to them, I hope in time a cure or responsive treatment can be found Thank you for teaching me!
Broca’s aphasia is issues with saying the words you want to say, and Wernickes aphasia is issues with comprehending what others say. Global aphasia is a mix of both
@@keeganic84 that would be so hard to live with, I feel really bad for them and their families! Thank you for that information! Taught me/others something new today!
he has global aphasia, so both borca+ wernike aphasia to break it down wrenike area is responsible for understanding words as you hear them, he cannot understand words so its way more severe than borca's aphasia patient with wrenike aphasia can be seen responding to questions with no meaning, How are you john? reponse: the car went so fast and I liked it, speaks randomly and thinks he's responding correctly and doing nothing wrong Borca aphasia = unable to physically say the words, example: how are you john? goo manoen doaw he knows he said it wrong, but cannot physically get his mouth to make the sound correctly, I guess easier to live with as you can still be functional but speech problems Global aphasia = both as I said, so he can't understand and cannot talk
This is not pure Wernicke's. He can repeat a few words but still has errors and cannot speak more than a few words at a time. In Wernicke's repetition is abnormal and speech patterns are fluent, normal and loquacious but don't make sense. They are able to speak continuously. His speech is more telegraphic but not as much as Broca's. Global is a combination of Broca's, Wernicke's and conduction aphasia so it could present with variations of those types.
Hello, 🐥🐦🐦🐦🦜🐦 God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ(His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, He grew up and died on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Jesus Christ sincerely to be God's child John 1:12. "But as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on HIS name." That is great news! Will you sincerely receive Holy, Lord Jesus into your life today?
