Aphasia typically occurs suddenly after a stroke or a head injury. But it can also come on gradually from a slow-growing brain tumor or a disease that causes progressive, permanent damage (degenerative). The severity of aphasia depends on a number of conditions, including the cause and the extent of the brain damage.
---

A person with aphasia may:

Speak in short or incomplete sentences
Speak in sentences that don't make sense
Substitute one word for another or one sound for another
Speak unrecognizable words
Not understand other people's conversation
Write sentences that don't make sense

The most common cause of aphasia is brain damage resulting from a stroke — the blockage or rupture of a blood vessel in the brain. Loss of blood to the brain leads to brain cell death or damage in areas that control language.

He has had 3 concussions that were serious. He has the word problem with names particularly, person names or business names. Even reading he has trouble with pronouncing names. Our president is in trouble mentally. We are all in trouble.
