One moment of understanding can change lives. This October, join the Lewy Body Dementia Association in moving beyond awareness toward real understanding of Lewy body dementia (LBD).

LBD affects approximately 1.4 million people in the United States and remains one of the most misdiagnosed forms of dementia. Its impact reaches far beyond the person diagnosed, touching care partners, families and friends.

That is why understanding matters. It can mean:

  • An earlier, more accurate diagnosis
  • A conversation that finally makes sense
  • Answers that help guide care and planning
  • A connection that meets you wherever you are in your journey
