Specializes in Psychiatry

Aphasia vs psychosis: Aphasia comes from damage to the parts of the brain that control language (like stroke, tumor, etc). Disorganized thinking can also come with psychosis, which may express in your reading, writing, and speech. It differs from aphasia. Psychiatrists are trained to tell these processes apart, & also to know when you need a neurological consult. Please discuss your concerns w/your doctor.
