What Is Lewy Body Dementia?
6. Hallucinations
Lewy body dementia can also cause the patient to have hallucinations. They can be so vivid for the patient that, for them, what they are experiencing is very real. The hallucinations can also recur, and it can become very difficult for the patient to differentiate between what is real and what is not real.
The hallucinations will often be visual, and the patient may even clearly see people that are just not there in reality. In addition to seeing things, the patient may also smell things that just do not exist. They can even hear sounds that have not been made.
