How It Is Diagnosed and How to Treat?
In most cases, dysphasia occurs suddenly after a head injury. When it occurs without an obvious cause, it is usually a symptom of another condition, like brain tumor or stroke. If you are experiencing symptoms of dysphasia, it would help to contact your doctor as soon as possible.
Your doctor might recommend some or all of the following tests:
- A physical exam
- A neurological exam
- Other tests of abilities like feeling, strength, and and reflexes
- An imaging test, such as an MRI scan
- A speech-language evaluation
It is important to note that your doctor might use the term “aphasia” to describe the symptoms of dysphasia.
Language skills in mild cases of dysphasia may be recovered without any treatment. However, most of the language therapy, speech, and time is used to build language skills. You can contact a language and speech therapist to help you regain as much language as possible.
