Base off of the information i read from the websites
A person with Huntington’s experiences poor coordination and uncontrolled movements physical, cognitive and emotional symptoms. There are three main symptoms to Huntington’s, physically you will notice weight loss and have a difficult time walking, talking and swallowing. Cognitively start noticing difficulty planning and focusing and emotionally you will have anxiety, and depression.
I believe that I have a better understanding of Huntington’s and that the information that I’ve read I have clear understanding of the disease its effect to people and their family. The researched helped me understand what can HD do to a person and how it can be detected early ages by knowing the symptoms and can seek medical help therefore for early testing.
Critical questions
