Résumé
This case series considers three patients newly diagnosed with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) whilst under the care of mental health services. The cases demonstrate that the difficulties in diagnosing DLB as early symptoms may resemble other neurodegenerative disorders or psychiatric illnesses. The role of consensus criteria in diagnosis is explored. The use of screening and assessment tools in early identification of DLB is also considered.
