Your first point of contact will probably be a doctor or neurologist
with specialist knowledge of DLB. A
psychiatrist, psychologist or counsellor will be able to help with some of the
behavioural and psychological aspects of DLB.
A physiotherapist will be able to assist with some of the motor symptoms,
whilst an occupational therapist will be able to suggest specialist equipment
and strategies to overcome everyday difficulties as well as ways to stay
motivated and to continue enjoyable activities.
As DLB can cause rapid fluctuations in symptoms it is important that a
flexible approach is adopted by all concerned, including carers, family and
members of the multidisciplinary team.
