What is Lewy Body Dementia?


Listen Later

It’s been 13 years since Angela Taylor kicked off her journey to understand Lewy Body Dementia (LBD). As a family caregiver for her father when he had a hard time managing medicine and finances, it took her awhile to figure out something was really wrong. Today, she is the Senior Director of Research and Advocacy at the Lewy Body Dementia Association (LBDA). She’ll explain how her father’s diagnosis of REM Sleep Behavior Disorder and Mild Cognitive Impairment are common early signs of LBD, and why it’s often misdiagnosed as Parkinson's disease. Angela shares important red flags to watch out for and where to find support.
