@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, Lewy Body Dementia; it's what Robin Williams had, and the Dementia is why he killed himself. The doctor told the family he had no idea what would be the results of what he did which ended his life. LBD is the 2nd most common of the parkinsonisms, with Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease being the most common. PSP is next, and the rarest is Multiple System Atrophy.
It's very interesting to read about them, and if you have PD you will be able to see that, as miserable as PD is, the other ones are even more complicated, and no one can be certain what they have until they autopsy the brain...after death of course. No hurry to be certain.
Hope that helps some; I know it's been a few months.
