Lewy body dementia (LBD) is a disease
associated with abnormal protein deposits called Lewy bodies. These
deposits affect chemicals in the brain whose changes, in turn, can lead
to problems with thinking, movement, behavior, and mood. Lewy body
dementia is one of the most common causes of dementia.
Lewy body dementia is a progressive disease, meaning symptoms start
slowly and worsen over time. How quickly symptoms develop and change
varies greatly from person to person, depending on overall health, age,
and severity of symptoms.
