Is this channel active? I have a friend with aphasia and they often go into long tyrates often ending in open questions such as "i wonder will i die" "perhaps i will die" ect. What is the best way to respond to this?
Does their speech make sense when they are talking to you? Then they make these remarks at the end? If so, sometimes after a person has a stroke they begin showing symptoms of depression and/or anxiety. These phrases make me think heightened anxiety. I would talk to their primary doctor about this issue.
@@CrackingtheCodeforCaregivers I would love to, but sadly they are a friend from another country I talk to online. They apparently have few people to talk to in real life (likely due to their aphasia) and were very hard to talk to to begin with. As I've known them longer their speech has actually improved with our interactions, often actually having days where they are able to talk somewhat coherently, being able to describe and state they have aphasia, play games online together, describe what they want to do ect rather than not, but there are also bad days where they are almost unable to have fluent conversation like I mentioned above. I have also learnt they respond very well to short questions about things they enjoy.
Do you have a love one at home with Wernicke's Aphasia? Have you tried any of these treatment techniques? Let me know!
