“Huntington’s Disguise” - Presentation

As HD progresses, it often places a mask on the person you love. They’re the same person, but it’s difficult to see them beyond the disguise. Understanding some of the more subtle physical and cognitive aspects of HD can help you see through this “Huntington’s Disguise.” Your loved one may not be bored, disinterested, angry or unwilling, although they may appear that way to some. Underneath they are the very same person you have known, loved and cared for through the years.
