Common Treatments for Lewy Body Dementia

Living with the behavior

Most individuals with Lewy body dementia are not affected by hallucinations. In patients like this, administering drugs may have more negative side effects than hallucinations. Doctors usually advise patients like this not to use any medications but tolerate the behavior.

Improving the environment

Patients with Lewy body dementia have difficulties performing daily routines in noisy and rowdy places. So health care professionals are advised not to correct and overwork a person with this kind of dementia; instead, they are told to give the patients validation and motivation about their concerns.
