Huntington's disease is an inherited disease that causes degeneration of nerve cells in the central nervous system (CNS). The disease has a broad impact on functional abilities of the human and usually results in movement and thinking disabilities. Most people with Huntington's disease develop signs and symptoms in their age of 30 to 40. When disease begins before age 20, the condition is known as juvenile Huntington's disease.
Huntington's disease usually causes psychiatric, cognitive and movement disorders with a variety of signs and symptoms. Cognitive disorders associated with Huntington’s disease include lack of flexibility, difficulties in learning and lack of impulse control that can result in sexual promiscuity. Movement disorders associated with Huntington's disease includes muscle problems, abnormal eye movements and difficulties with the physical production of speech and swallowing.

To overcome this problem, medications are available to manage the symptoms of Huntington's disease; however treatments can't prevent the mental, physical and behavioral disabilities associated with the condition.
