Hi,
There's currently no cure for Huntington's disease or any way to stop it getting worse. But treatment and support can help reduce some of the problems caused by the condition.
In many areas, there are Huntington's disease clinics run by a specialist doctor and nurse, who can offer treatment and support and refer you to other specialists if needed.
Daily tasks such as getting dressed, moving around your house and eating can be frustrating and exhausting if you have Huntington's disease.
An occupational therapist can look at activities you find difficult and see if there's another way you can do them. Daily tasks such as getting dressed, moving around your house and eating can be frustrating and exhausting if you have Huntington's disease.
