Aphasia is a disorder that is related to language comprehension. Wernicke's aphasia (fluent Aphasia) is a type of aphasia where an individual has poor comprehension of reading and writing. This condition could be caused by a lesion in wernicke's centre or stroke. People with aphasia may talk in long sentences that have little or no meaning and also have a difficult time to comprehend speech. Anyone suspected of having aphasia will be referred to a neurologist where he will be asked to follow commands and answer questions to determine his level of disability. The patient can then be referred to a language pathologist where more comprehensive tests are done. There is no medical treatment available but the person can improve his language skills to reduce the symptoms of this condition.
