Abstract
Dementia is a functional decline due to cognitive impairment, and its presence is required to make a diagnosis of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Evaluation and management of cognitive impairment in DLB is complex and requires consideration of cognitive fluctuations as well as motor and behavioral symptoms. This article reviews the literature surrounding evaluation and management of cognitive impairment in DLB, highlighting the specific cognitive profile typically seen in early DLB as well as the available evidence for management of these symptoms. There are several pharmacological and nonpharmacological treatment strategies that are currently under investigation, and these are reviewed as well. [ Psychiatr Ann. 2022;52(10):404–409.]
