Asemia is the term for the medical condition of being unable to understand or express any sign s or symbol s. It is a more severe condition than aphasia , which is the inability to understand linguistic signs. Asemia is caused by damage to the areas of the brain that process communication. More specifically when there is damage to the left side of the brain in the areas that process communication such as Broca and Wernike s areas. Damage can be inflicted by physical trauma to the brain, but is more commonly caused by stroke and sometimes tumors. The onslaught of this condition is usually quick but not permanent. Treatment of this condition is traditional speech therapy in which the individual must relearn how to read, write, and talk. Depending on the severity of the injury recovery can take days to years. Complete recovery is common, but not to the full extent of baseline ability.

Brain and Language 69 56 75. ref It is usually associated with a mania manic presentation and other symptoms of serious mental illnesses, such as psychosis , including schizophrenia . It is characterized by an apparently confused usage of word s with no apparent meaning or relationship attached to them. In this context, it is considered to be a symptom of a formal thought disorder . In some cases schizophasia can be a sign of asymptomatic schizophrenia e.g. the question Why do people believe in God ? could elicit a response consisting of a series of words commonly associated with religion or prayer but strung together with no regard to language rules. Schizophasia should be contrasted with another symptom of cognitive disruption and cognitive slippage involving certain idiosyncratic arrangements of words. With this symptom, the language may or may not be grammatically correct depending on the severity of the disease and the particular mechanisms which have been impacted by the disease. The American diagnostic codes, from the DSM IV , do not specifically code for this disorder although they include it as a symptom under the diagnosis of schizophrenia. ref cite book title Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders edition 4th edition year 1994 ref See also Cluttering Schizophrenia Francis E.
