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.
