What is Lewy Body Dementia and What are the Symptoms?

Lewy body dementia is another common form of dementia, sharing many similarities with Alzheimer's disease. 

A significant number of people diagnosed with lewy body dementia are found to have tiny spherical structures called Lewy bodies in the nerve cells of their brains. It is thought these may contribute to the death of brain cells.

The symptoms of Lewy Body dementia are often mild at the outset and can be extremely variable from day to day. Common symptoms include :

• Fluctuation in the condition

• Visual hallucinations

• Extreme sensitivity to classical anti-psychotic medications leading to marked symptoms of stiffness, tremor and restriction of movement

Lewy body demntia sometimes occurs with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.
