Lewy body dementia, also known as dementia with Lewy bodies, is a condition that causes the protein to deposit in the brain. This leads to disruptions in normal brain function and causes many health issues. Diagnosis can be very challenging as the signs might be similar to those of other brain illnesses. Depending on the stages you are in, exact symptoms are not the same. In any case, it is important to recognize these signs and seek medical attention to prevent complications and improve the quality of your life. Below are 7 main stages of Lewy body dementia and specific symptoms that you need to know.
1Stage One
People with Lewy body dementia are completely normal in stage one. There are no signs and symptoms of cognitive decline. In other words, patients and physicians are almost impossible to detect the condition. Some individuals may experience mood fluctuations and hallucinations, along with daytime sleeping. However, these issues cannot be attributed to Lewy body dementia. CT or MRI scans may indicate a few incidental results during routine health checks. [1]
