Lewy body dementia (LBD)

Lewy Body Dementia (LBD) is an umbrella term that includes Dementia with Lewy Bodies and Parkinson’s Disease Dementia. It can affect thinking and memory, and also cause visual hallucinations (seeing things that are not there), as well as movement changes similar to Parkinson’s disease. 

Although it is the second most common form of degenerative dementia, it can present in different ways which means that it can be difficult to diagnose. The symptoms can also be challenging to manage, as some medications for movement symptoms can worsen thinking and memory symptoms.
