Understanding Lewy Body Dementia

Golden underline

Lewy Body Dementia is a complex, progressive brain disorder involving protein deposits that disrupt cognitive and motor functions. Common symptoms include visual hallucinations, memory loss, movement difficulties, and sleep disturbances. This condition often mimics Parkinson’s Disease, complicating diagnosis and care.

Lewy Body Dementia vs. Other Dementias

Unlike Alzheimer’s or Vascular Dementia, LBD affects both cognitive abilities and movement early on. Patients may experience extreme visual hallucinations and significant sleep disruption. These distinctive symptoms often require specialized care, tailored to manage both mental and motor challenges simultaneously.

Common Symptoms of Dementia

Visual hallucinations and delusions

Cognitive decline and memory problems

Parkinsonian movement symptoms (rigidity, tremors)

Fluctuations in alertness and attention

REM sleep disorder and severe nightmares

Sensitivity to medications, especially antipsychotics
