Dr. Fleisher, you are an excellent communicator! I'm an RN caring for dementia residents in long term care. I shall search here on YouTube for more such instruction from you. Thank you for all your sacrifice, years of study, and clinical experience that made this video possible!

This has been 'spot on' for me. I have been married for 65 years and when I think back to various actions of my husband, I think he has had LBD for a long time but manifested itself in the last ten to twelve years. All areas mentioned here are the mirror of him. One learns to care for and live with IT. The one area of sleep disorders especially describes him to a T, other than he also has narcolepsy and so I find letting him sleep it out is the best thing. If I try to wake him or get him up and going...that is not good; he only falls asleep. Dr. Fleisher, thank you for the delivery of a well thought out presentation, it helps immensely.

I wish every doctor could communicate and explain complicated things as well as you do. Thank

I must say you are an extremely good educator. I love your way of explaining and breaking it down. I would have learned a lot more in college if all professors were like you.

This is the most informative video on LBD that I have seen. Be sure to save this one.

I am so glad I found this. My dad passed away from LBD and Parkinson’s. A short time after his passing, my mom was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. Now several years later it almost seems like she is having more LBD symptoms based on what you are presenting and we will talk to her neurologist about it. Either way, thank you. Interested in your thoughts about gut health and the”second brain”. Done a fair amount of reading into this and brain health. Seems like there is something there. Maybe something to help my brain and my young adult children.

How to get a Doctor to listen to the changes in my cognitive changes when they just tell me I need a psychologist.

Thank you so much for all of the great information presented in such a clear and concise way. Dr. Fleisher, you're a wonderful presenter of this information and a great comfort to myself who was just diagnosed with DLB.

Thank you for creating this video. It is informative and helpful and well presented. Thank you again!

I only wish I had had this information before my mother passed away from Lewy Body Dementia & Parkinson’s in July of 2014. Nobody knew or didn’t share helpful information so it goes without saying her life would have been much better if we had known more details about LBD & PD. Now at least I have this info in case it turns out that I have inherited the possibility of getting LBD/PD. Thank you very much for this video.

Wonderful talk on LBD. My sister died of LBD. One thing I would like to mention here is that at no point should anyone be given Haldol to treat hallucinations if LBD is even remotely suspected. She was given that drug and immediately her symptoms worsened. This was in 2012 and it was all new to us and we had no idea the dangers of that particular drug for those with LBD. However, I did feel that the neurologist should have been aware. She was having frightening hallucinations almost from the very beginning.
