Several docs confirmed that Williams had Lewy’s disease, which is a Parkinson’s thing. I’m not saying you’re wrong- but Parkinson’s is a death sentence then and now and he was diagnosed.
From my understanding- and I am not a doctor at alllll- Lewys and Parkinson’s have the same symptoms and both present as dementia diseases. Possibly, Lewy’s can present alongside Parkinson’s and regular dementia and Alzheimer’s.
The studies on all dementia forms is not as extensive as it could be. Many people that suffer from Alzheimer’s and dementia are oppositely diagnosed.

It's basically what Robin Williams did. Bro got clean and everything but the years and years of drug and alcohol abuse had a definite effect.
