Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) can affect thinking, behavior, and movement. Changes in thought and behavior precede DLB's typical mobility impairments. DLB patients often have movement problems like those with traditional Parkinson's disease. Parkinson’s Disease with Dementia (PDD) versus Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) It's important to remember that some people with Parkinson's disease (PD) have trouble...

A decline in intellectual function (dementia with Lewy bodies), a group of movement difficulties known as parkinsonism, visual hallucinations, rapid changes (fluctuations) in behavior and intellectual abilities, and enacting dreams while asleep are all symptoms of dementia with Lewy bodies which is a condition of the nervous system (REM sleep behavior disorder). The average age of onset for this condition is between 50 and 85, making it a disease for older adults.

Dementia associated with Lewy bodies (LBD) worsens over time. After a diagnosis, most people seem to live another five to eight years. While LBD cannot be cured, you can control its symptoms with medication. The severity of symptoms, along with the individual's age and health, will determine the rate of the disease's progression, says the National Institute on Aging (NIA). Abnormal deposits of a protein called alpha-synuclein develop in various brain regions, leading to LBD, a degenerative brain illness. It usually manifests in those 50 and up, while younger people can also experience the onset of symptoms. Around 1.4 million...
