Huntington's disease is a genetically inherited condition which results in severe        nerve-cell damage in the brain. The hereditary and debilitative nature of the        disease means that many people are involved either directly or indirectly by this        condition. The recent identification of the faulty gene involved has made the        diagnosis of this condition simpler. The majority of people develop the disease        between the ages of 35 and 55 years, so for those aware of their genetic risk there        aredilemmas to consider - should you have a test to see if you have the gene? Should        you start a family?The new edition of this successful book specifically designed for        families of patients with Huntington's disease has been expanded to include a number        of important new developments in research and clinical practice that have occurred        in the field in recent years. While there are no drugs currently available that slow        down or reverse the neurodegenerative process in Huntington's Disease, there is        growing data on the use of existing treatments to manage movement disorder,        irritability anddepression associated with the condition, which are covered here.          This edition also includes completely new chapters covering juvenile Huntington's        disease and late-stage Huntington's disease, and a fully updated Appendix of        relevant patients' organizations.
