Huntington's
Disease
is
a devastating, degenerative brain disorder for which
there is, at present, no effective treatment or cure. HD slowly
diminishes
the affected individual's ability to walk, think, talk and reason.
Eventually,
the person with HD becomes totally dependent upon others for his or her
care.
Huntington's Disease profoundly affects the lives of entire families:
emotionally,
socially and economically.
