A Correct Diagnosis Can Only Be Made After A Number Of Tests Have Been Performed
Because the symptoms of aphasia are so specific to the condition, it may initially appear to be a straightforward task to diagnose someone with the condition. However, it turns out that they need to conduct a number of tests in order to guarantee that they are making the appropriate diagnosis. That’s not the end of it. The outcome of the illness, as well as whether or not someone will be able to make a full recovery despite receiving treatment, can be predicted by performing additional tests.
Reading, writing, comprehension, repetition, naming, and studies into speech performed by a speech-language pathologist make up the majority of the components of these examinations. It’s possible that they’ll also want to look at the patient’s brain using CT, MRI, or PET scans so that they can construct a more complete picture. It has not been established, as of yet, whether or not Bruce Willis has submitted himself to these examinations.
