This four-video series (in French) on Lewy body dementia (LBD) aims to raise awareness of the condition as well as inform and equip caregivers, care receivers and the people who support them. The videos feature explanations from various professionals, including a family doctor, social worker and clinical nurse, as well as accounts from the caregivers themselves. They were produced in response to the identification of information needs among caregivers of people with major neurocognitive disorders. The explanations are based on a scientific literature review, a roundup of online information resources, and practical and experiential expertise.
Below are the topics addressed in each video:
- 1 – Primary symptoms and medical consultation (25 min)
- 2 – Inside the patient’s brain (18 min)
- 3 – How to react to the symptoms (38 min)
- 4 – Communication, emotions and support (14 min)
