Lewy Body Dementia



​Lewy body dementia (LBD, sometimes referred to as Lewy body disorder) is an umbrella term that includes Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), two dementias characterized by abnormal deposits of the protein alpha-synuclein in the brain.  LBD is considered one of the four Atypical Parkinsonisms.  Home - Lewy Body Dementia Association (lbda.org)
