Asked 2 years ago

Hi, my great aunt has developed Alzheimer's and I've been doign quite a bit of research into this toppic. It seems like Aphasia and Alzheimer's are somehow connected? Yet they're different? When does Alzheimer's start exhibiting signs of aphasia and is there a way to tell the difference? Thanks.

﻿Aphasia relates to a part of Alzheimer's where you start getting speech patterns wrong or mixed. It has two types, Receptive aphasia, and expressive aphasia. Expressive aphasia is where you cant quite find the right words, or say them incorrectly. Receptive aphasia is where your ability to hear the right words or understand language inputs is harder. These symptoms usually appear in late-onset in the 50s or 60s, early onset stage appears within the 30s to mid 60 range.

Aphasia is a type of memory disorder that affects a person's speech patterns or language and communication abilities. Aphasia occurs as a result of  brain damage or brain disease. There are different types of aphasia such as primary progressive aphasia which worsens over time.  Another type is expressive aphasia or word-finding aphasia which is one of the common symptoms of early-stage Alzheimer's and could also be a symptom of early dementia.
