Lewy Body, Alzheimer’s & Mixed Dementias Explained | Dr. James Galvin

Lewy Body, Alzheimer’s & Mixed Dementias Explained | Dr. James Galvin

Lewy body dementia is a form of dementia caused by abnormal protein deposits in the brain known as "Lewy bodies,” with symptoms that can resemble those of Parkinson's disease. Leading neurologist Dr. James E. Galvin explains how to identify early warning signs, distinguish Lewy body dementia from Alzheimer’s disease, and explore current and emerging treatment options. He’ll also discuss mixed dementias, when a person has more than one type of dementia. For a deeper dive into vascular dementia, watch our full conversation with Dr. Galvin, part of the Zoom In on Dementia and Alzheimer’s series: https://www.brightfocus.org/resource/lewy-body-alzheimers-mixed-dementias-explained/ Support for Let’s Talk Alzheimer’s is provided by sponsors Lilly, Biogen, Eisai, and Genentech. Let’s Talk Alzheimer’s is presented by Alzheimer’s Disease Research, a BrightFocus Foundation program. We fund exceptional research across the globe to support the development of cutting-edge treatments, risk reduction strategies, and ultimately a cure for this mind-stealing disease.
