Dementia-related psychosis refers to behaviors that can include hallucinations, delusional thinking, agitation, or aggressive behavior. A July 2020 survey sponsored by UsAgainstAlzheimer's, the Lewy Body Dementia Association, and Acadia Pharmaceuticals, involving 212 patients, found that 61 percent experienced visual hallucinations weekly.

"While psychosis can be more common as dementia advances, visual hallucinations can be an earlier symptom of Lewy body dementia and Parkinson's-related dementia," says Jennifer G. Goldman, MD, FAAN, a member of LBDA's Scientific Advisory Council.

This resource can be completed in advance by those who may have symptoms of LBD and provided to their doctors at their next office visit. It can also be handed out by healthcare professionals for their patients to complete at an office visit.
