Max Lugavere recounts that when he was in his late 20s his mother began showing first symptoms of a rare form of dementia called Lewy body dementia. He explains how it differs from Alzheimer’s (primarily a neurocognitive disorder) and Parkinson’s (primarily a movement disorder), noting that Lewy body dementia typically produces both cognitive and movement symptoms due to dysfunction in the substantia (nigra) where dopaminergic neurons die. Lugavere frames this as a personal learning journey as he became the primary caregiver.
