Say Aphasiaさんのイラストまとめ

Living with the affects of a stroke, such as loss of movement in on one side of the body, #Aphasia can also lead to: ⁠
ISOLATION ⁠
FRUSTRATION⁠
ARGUMENTS ⁠
ANXIETY ⁠
ANGER ⁠
UNEMPLOYMENT ⁠
A LACK OF CONFIDENCE⁠
BOREDOM ⁠
DEPRESSION ⁠
UNCERTAINTY ⁠
EMBARRASSMENT ⁠

Having aphasia can cause a lot of frustration due to being misunderstood, and not being able to communicate their thoughts.⁠ This can lead to arguments with family members, and may not be aware of their difficulties with understanding, or be aware of their own speech errors.⁠

Around a third of people who have a stroke will experience aphasia⁠; and greater awareness can mean easier communication; and a better quality of life for a person with aphasia.⁠
