Lewy body dementia is the second most common form of neurodegenerative dementia. The work of dementia activist Helga Rohra has raised public awareness of the struggles faced by those affected and their families. At the same time, there is a lack of specific counseling services that address the unique situations of those affected. The U.S. authors provide a guide for family members and individuals with Lewy body dementia. They offer comprehensive and understandable information on how affected individuals can be competently supported, encouraged, and advised.
