Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you’re a researcher, care partner, or living with LBD yourself — we're here to help.

What is Lewy body dementia (LBD)?

LBD is a complex and often misdiagnosed form of dementia that affects thinking, movement, sleep, and behavior — and includes both Parkinson’s dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies.

Why is LBD often misdiagnosed?

Because its symptoms overlap with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, LBD is frequently mistaken for other conditions — leading to delayed or incorrect treatment.
