Lewy body Dementia

There are abnormal microscopic deposits in the brain that damage brain cells over time, causing Lewy body dementia. As a result of Lewy body dementia, the brain's cognitive abilities gradually decline. Hallucinations and changes in alertness and attention are common in people with Lewy body dementia (LD). Parkinson's disease can also cause rigid muscles, sluggish movements, difficulty walking and tremors.
