As with any disease, the earlier it can be diagnosed and treated, the better. Unfortunately, there is not yet a cure for Huntington’s disease. Current treatments focus on managing symptoms and complications such as depression in early stages of the disease. Some medications help increase a person’s mood and improve energy levels; others reduce tremors (shaking) or uncontrolled movements (dystonia). In later stages of the illness, medications can help control behavior disturbances, weight loss, seizures, and other problems that interfere with daily life.”
