Question: Is there any disease that can make you make more mistakes?

Great question! When people lose the ability to understand or express speech resulting from a traumatic brain injury, they acquire aphasia. This is a language disorder. Aphasia can manifest in different forms, such as expressive aphasia. This is characterized by difficulties in speaking or struggling to find the right words. People with aphasia’s speech may sound fragmented, with frequent stops and be more effortful.
