At the beginning of the disease sufferers may become irritable, experience mood swings, become depressed, have trouble remembering things and have difficulty performing everyday tasks, such as driving.
A person with Huntington's disease may have uncontrollable movements and experience deterioration in their intellectual capabilities. As the disease progresses any intellectual activity becomes difficult and they may be unable to feed themselves and swallow. There are many medications that may help the symptoms of the disease but at this time there is no cure.
