The actor's family said he was recently 'diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities.'
When mild, aphasia may affect just a single aspect of language use. A person with mild aphasia might not be able to recall the names of objects, for example, or might struggle to read or put words together into clear sentences.
A stroke patient suffering from aphasia might regain the ability to speak, Boxer said. But the National Aphasia Association said complete recovery is unlikely if symptoms remain two or three months after a stroke.But with slower aphasias, Boxer said, doctors will typically start with a brain scan to rule out a tumor pressing on the speech section of the brain or some other neurological cause.
