My Story…
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a rare hereditary neurodegenerative disease that manifests in a range of physical (poor coordination, involuntary movement, etc.), cognitive (difficulty with focus, planning, etc.) and emotional symptoms (depression, anger bursts, obsessive behaviours). Symptoms progress slowly over the course of 10 – 25 years to the point that affected persons require 24-hour assistance. Currently, no treatment is available to slow down the disease progression despite amazing efforts by scientists in recent years.
In the absence of effective treatments, emotional and psychological support is extremely important for families who are affected by HD. Société Huntington du Québec (SHQ) supports HD families by providing activities and counselling for the patients and families. Please support our cause!
