At the Lewy Body Dementia Association, we understand that many families are touched by Lewy body dementia. Whether you’ve been recently diagnosed, you’re a caregiver, a healthcare professional, or you’re looking for more information – we’re here for you. We’ve created our homepage to help LBD families quickly access up-to-date information about LBD to help prepare for some of the changes ahead.
LBD affects more than 1.5 million people and families in the United States. Yet, most of the general public, including much of the medical profession, is not even aware that LBD exists.
There are a number of symptoms that might indicate someone has LBD. These include:
- Unpredictable changes in their memory, how they think or make decisions.
- Stiffness or problems walking.
- Seeing things that aren’t real, or frequent frightening nightmares.
LBDA is an organization created by LBD affected families and caregivers. Our goals are simple:
- Increasing Knowledge
- Sharing Experience
- Building Hope
We are working hard to spread the word about LBD through the work of our international Scientific Advisory Council, publications, support groups, online community, presence at national medical conferences, and our website.
Here are some helpful materials to print out and read at your convenience.
