Anomia

Anomia is a condition that affects a person’s ability to retrieve words from memory. Individuals with anomia often know what they want to say but struggle to find the right words, especially when naming objects or people. This can lead to frustration as they may experience difficulty in conversations or expressing their thoughts clearly. Anomia can occur due to various reasons, including brain injury, stroke, or neurological disorders. Treatment typically involves speech therapy to help individuals improve their language skills and coping strategies to facilitate communication.
