Dementia syndromes have multiple etiologies and among the causes of potentially reversible dementias is depression. We present here a case study of an elderly patient diagnosed with Dementia by Lewy Bodies and who, after multiprofessional treatment, had an improvement in his cognitive and emotional condition, and the initial diagnosis was reviewed. Initial dementia symptoms were considered to be associated with depressive symptoms and care based on psychosocial care was central to the observed changes.
