10 Symptoms of Lewy Body Dementia

Symptom #5: Personality Changes
One of the hardest things that the loved ones of dementia sufferers face is seeing their beloved undergo changes in personality. It is a common symptom and Lewy body dementia is no different. Indeed, people with Lewy body dementia are twice as likely to develop personality traits on the first evaluation.
This will include things like losing an interest in hobbies that they once loved and a growing general apathy. They can also become repetitive. Perhaps one of the most painful things for their families to see is a diminished emotional response, with the patient seemingly not caring about other people that they were once so close to.
