LBD is a multi-system disease affecting cognition, movement and emotions, but not everyone experiences the same combination of symptoms. It can be misdiagnosed as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's if distinguishing symptoms are not reported. Learn about all LBD symptoms so you know what to share with your doctor. |
 Because many people with LBD react negatively to certain medications, it is important to become knowlegeable about appropriate LBD treatment options. LBD treatment includes both taking medications and using some non-pharmacological approaches, and can improve the quality of life for both the person with LBD and their caregivers. |
