Dementia with Lewy bodies

Dementia with Lewy bodies is a common form of dementia estimated to affect more than 100,000 people in the UK.

The term “dementia” describes a loss of mental ability (cognitive impairment) associated with gradual death of brain cells. It’s rare in anyone younger than 65.

Symptoms usually develop gradually and become more severe over the course of several years.
