People who have Lewy body dementia in their lives can be under pressures others cannot comprehend - they are also some of the most resilient people in the world too.

How do you take care of your mental health? What are you doing/not doing to help you cope?

🧠 Not all dementias are the same.

🌍 World Alzheimer's Day was yesterday, we’re shining a light on Lewy body dementia, the second most common type in older people - but often mistaken for Alzheimer’s.

Lewy body dementia isn't like other dementias, and because of that it can get missed as a diagnosis.

If you think you or a loved one might have some or all of these symptoms, please go to your GP.

💥 For a small charity, we make a BIG impact - and we are making a bigger one every year!

With Lewy body dementia so misunderstood, no wonder families are turning to us for help.
