You've heard about it in the news. Robin Williams and Hall of Fame pitcher Tom Seaver were diagnosed with Lewy Body dementia. But how does it differ from other dementias? We'll talk about some of the distinct symptoms of Lewy Body dementia including fluctuating mental function, visual hallucinations, movement symptoms, and more.
