Description
Huntington's is a progressive, neurodegenerative illness that causes neuron death in the following parts of the brain: the striatum, substantia nigra, and thalamus. Because of this neurological damage, Huntington's causes uncontrollable movements, emotional disturbances and mental degradation.
Causes
Huntington's disease is genetically inherited, and is caused by a defect on the fourth autosomal chromosome.
Common Symptoms
Huntington's disease symptoms usually develop when the patient is middle-aged; however, people in their 20s and 30s have shown signs and symptoms, usually because their cases are more severe. Symptoms of Huntington's include: Personality change, antisocial tendencies, irritability, hallucinations, restlessness, paranoia, abnormal or unusual movements, dementia, trouble swallowing, and speech probl View more...
Alternative Treatment
Physical therapy, occupational therapy, nutritional therapy, speech and swallowing therapy and counseling may be used in addition to medication.
