    Turns out I can have chapters on a video! So you might notice it's handily split into sections. If you want to find a particular topic the old school way though, here you go: 0:00 Intro 1:10 Symptoms of Huntington's 3:52 Broad causes in the brain 5:40 Genetics of Huntington’s and more detailed causes 12:01 Treatments- both current and potential 14:59 Useful links, thanks, and wrap up 17:18 Outtakes and links to other videos

    Ooooh, chapters... Cool! Still watching from start to finish, I'm not a neurologist so I'm bound to need some of the more basic info along the way.

    Thanks, Soph. Very informative but easy to understand. Wish I could afford to be a Patreon supporter, but alas... Thanks to all those who do. Question: Do you ever marvel that all of these complex complexities, interdependent functions of our bodies--let alone the world and the Universe--just came about by undirected, random chance?

    I have Huntingon's Disease, and ADD/ADHD and COPD and Fibromyalgia. The drug the Dr. recently put me on was Trazadone!! It's working amazingly for my Nervousness every day, and anxiety, also help a bit with my depression! It's 25mg and primarily used for Insomnia but seems to be working well and I'm feeling a lot less agitated and Irritable on it so far.

    Our conversation about mental health would be great if you could get a video out for the start of this Mental Health Awareness Week will take place from 18-24 May 2020. Think it was he subject of how chemicals in our brains affect us, and if some one is imbalanced, how that imbalanced can effect them, it is a subject that is very close to my heart as I suffer from it, been diagnosed with BPD, CPTSD, social anxiety, and also being tested for asd too
