lbd is a condition due to brain damage. The cause is still unknown and has been recently distinguished as a separate disease from alzheimer's.Main symptoms: loss of memory, affected language,unability to fulfill simple actions,parkinsonian signs,dysphagia,shorten life expectancy, etc.
Lbd is quckly progressive disease usually ending with death.
Although there are some drugs that are used, there is no cure for it.
