Living with Huntington's Disease: What I've Learned as a Caregiver

Huntington's disease (HD) has been called "the worst disease known to mankind." HD is a genetic, neurodegenerative disease that causes motor, psychiatric, and cognitive symptoms. Since there is currently no treatment or cure, the best you can hope for is to manage the symptoms with available medications. Huntington's disease is ALWAYS fatal. So what happens when your child, the person you love most in this world, is diagnosed with this monster? The author shares her experiences and what she's learned along the way, including how to advocate for your loved one and the grief and resilience that go hand-in-hand with living with HD.
