  • Individuals and their families must cope with continuing losses,
    both physical and mental, as the condition progresses.
  • The cognitive and behavioral changes for affected individuals may
    make it more difficult for them to cope.
  • Individuals and family members may feel helpless and
    hopeless.
  • Faulty judgment and impulsivity related to behavioral changes may
    result in unsafe situations for the individual.
  • As the condition progresses, individuals become less able to care
    for themselves and thus become more dependent on others.
  • As communication becomes more difficult, social interactions also
    become more difficult, resulting in increasing social isolation.
  • Personality changes that may produce violent or hostile behaviors
    may stress support systems.
  • Because Huntington’s disease has a genetic component, family members
    may seek out genetic counseling to determine if they carry the Huntington gene
    and may want to make decisions related to pregnancy.
