Signs Of Lewy Body Dementia

Disorganized Speech

Disorganized speech is a common component of Lewy body dementia. It may occur alongside cognitive issues like executive dysfunction and confusion. Disorganized speech tends to occur because patients have problems maintaining their train of thought and concentrating. An individual with disorganized speech may say incoherent things, give unrelated answers to questions, make illogical statements, or shift between topics with no connections. Word preservation occurs when the affected individual repeats the same idea or words over and over. There may also be made-up words only the speaker understands. Rhyming phrases and words may be used despite their meaninglessness. If cognitive impairment is severe enough, understanding the patient might become nearly impossible.
