It is important to differentiate dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and other dementia, especially Alzheimer disease (AD), because the medical treatment, management, and the prognosis of these diseases are different. In regard to clinical features, DLB patients have relatively

depression
, autonomic symptoms, REM sleep behavior disorder, and idiopathic parkinsonism compared to AD patients.
