Bruce Willis has been diagnosed with aphasia, a form of frontotemporal dementia, his family announced Wednesday on social media.

Aphasia is a condition that robs you of the ability to communicate. As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him. This is a really challenging time for our family and we are so appreciative of your continued love, compassion and support.

Aphasia is a language disorder that impacts a person's ability to communicate.

The disorder "leaves a person unable to communicate effectively with others," Johns Hopkins said, noting that the severity of the disorder depends on which parts of the brain are impacted. "As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him." "This is a really challenging time for our family and we are so appreciative of your continued love, compassion and support," his family added.

Condition has affected US film star's 'cognitive abilities', daughter Rumer Willis says in a family statement.

Hugs and love for the whole family- thank you for sharing him with us all,” actor Seth Green also tweeted. Damage on the right side of your brain may cause other problems, like poor attention or memory.” As Bruce always says, ‘Live it up’ and together we plan to do just that.”

Willis’ family members posted a joint statement to social media announcing the actor’s retirement.

The big-screen acting career of Bruce Willis is at once archetypal and unclassifiable.

It's a simple enough line, but Willis endows it with underworld grit, macho swagger and a subtle wink at the cosmic absurdity of his situation. Tarantino's dialogue — a heady mix of hard-boiled aphorisms, lowbrow allusions and mock-philosophical banter — allowed Willis to show off his tonal range. In the second decade of his national stardom, he pushed himself into more challenging territory. "Moonlighting" made him a name, but "Die Hard" (1988) made him a brand. "Die Hard" also provides an instructive lesson in his appeal. He was instantly convincing as a wiseacre cop, but he seemed equally comfortable with the show's flights of fancy, like a black-and-white dream sequence that paid homage to 1940s noir.

An aphasia diagnosis has prompted Bruce Willis to step away from acting. What is aphasia and what causes it? Read about common symptoms and treatment.

When mild, aphasia may affect just a single aspect of language use. Aphasia describes a neurological condition that affects a person’s ability to communicate verbally or through writing. Aphasia’s symptoms vary, as can their severity. Aphasia is caused by damage to one or more areas of the brain that deal with language, according to the National Institutes of Health. The most common cause of aphasia is brain damage from a stroke, though it can also arise as a result of a head injury, brain tumor, infection or degenerative disease like Alzheimer's. "As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him," the post said.

Los síntomas pueden ser variados, al igual que las causas, pero este trastorno provoca que una persona tenga dificultad para comprender el lenguage.

Los resultados podrían variar de persona a persona. "La terapia de la afasia tiene como objetivo mejorar la capacidad de la persona para comunicarse, ayudándola a usar las habilidades del lenguaje que le quedan, recuperar la capacidad para hablar lo más posible, y aprender otras formas de comunicación, tales como gestos, imágenes o el uso de dispositivos electrónicos", dice, por su parte, el Instituto Nacional para Sordos y otros Desórdenes de Comunicación de Estados Unidos. Luego de que la afasia es diagnosticada por un médico, el tratamiento común es la terapia de lenguaje. Esto supone un "bloqueo o ruptura de un vaso sanguíneo en el cerebro''. Entonces, la "falta de suministro de sangre al cerebro produce la muerte de las células o daño en las regiones que controlan el lenguaje". El NHS clasifica la enfermedad como "expresiva" o "receptiva". Esto dependerá de si un paciente tiene problemas para entender el lenguaje o expresarse. Esta afección, que podría ocurrir junto a otros desórdenes como dificultad de visión, movilidad o memoria, no tiene un impacto en la inteligencia de quien la padece.
