Aphasia is a condition that affects language, impairing either production, reception, or comprehension. Brain injury or a sudden stroke that causes injury to the area of language and speech production can cause aphasia.
Aphasia is of three types: Broca's aphasia, Wernicke's aphasia, and global aphasia. Broca's aphasia is known as non-fluent aphasia in which one has difficulty in producing speech. Wernicke's aphasia, on the other hand, is known as the fluent aphasia in which the individual would speak in long complicated sentences, often making no meaning. They even have difficulty in comprehending what others are saying.
