10 Symptoms of Lewy Body Dementia
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #3: Delusions
Our brains give us the ability to make sense of the world around us. We generally have a pretty good idea of what is going on, and we usually have little difficulty telling the difference between fiction and reality. Patients with Lewy body dementia, however, can begin to struggle to know the difference between what is true and what is not.
A common symptom of the condition is delusions. The patient might believe that certain scenarios are playing out despite there being no evidence that this is the case. It can lead to them believing that there is a plot to harm them, even when everybody just wants to help.
