LBD is treatable. We've been teaching about treating LBD for
over a decade!
- Symptoms can be addressed individually, often with good results.
- With good treatment, a person with LBD can have a good quality of life for many years.
- Some drugs can help: dementia drugs, anti-depressants, and mild anti-psychotics and others for specific symptoms, but drugs can also be very problematic.
- Non-drug options, alone or combined with drugs in lower doses than when used alone is often the best option.
