How Long Does Aphasia Last?
A friend of mine had a blood clot on her brain. She said they are nit calling it a stroke. However, several years ago her eye doctor did an exam and told her she had a stroke. This her doctor us calling it an mild aneurysm. She is having difficulty finding the right words but she understands what you say to her. She also not having any hemiparesis or hemiplegia. I am a RN but confused by her symptoms and she cannot articulate exactly what her MD. He did tell her he expects a full recovery but I am concerned. How long will her expressive apasia last?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Regarding your concern, I would explain that expressive aphasia may take some months up to a year to recover. After this period of time, the recovery is minimal. So, I would recommend consulting with a speech therapist to help improve her situation.
