What Is Huntington’s Disease

Huntington’s disease (HD) is a hereditary illness that causes damage to certain areas of the brain. This stops the brain and body from working as well as they used to, and affects a person’s movement, thoughts, behaviour and emotion. Symptoms can occur at almost any age but most commonly appear between 30 and 50.
