Hullo and welcome to TP, Hoopy29. I'm not surprised you are overwhelmed, 5 years into my OH's vascular dementia I'm still a bit overwhelmed some days. Sorry that's not very reassuring. The Alzheimer's website has plenty of information on the different types of dementia, so hopefully on of these links will give you the information you need. https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/about-dementia/types-dementia or https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/about-dementia/types-dementia/dementia-with-lewy-bodies.

There are plenty of people who can also give you their personal experience too. Best wishes..
