    This video makes a lot of sense, and would be a help for us all that are near this HD. My dad was not diagnosed for a long time, back then not many knew about this illness, it was fear of the unknown. I remember the volcanic episodes of rage that my dad went through all too well, I still have flashbacks and nightmares 50 years later... . It was like living with a Jekyl and Hyde. We loved him through it all

    Back when my mum was young as HD was on her side of the family..My sister’s and I never knew about this disease and the aunties never said anything..There motto was if you make it over 30ish your safe..An uncle from Canada came to visit his sister’s mum had already died he found us and he told us what disease we could inherit and that the testing is here in Australia that was 25 yrs ago I’m 65 it got my two sister’s which are now in a Nursing Home

    wow, I became irritable when my father took his life last year and left my mother alone at 76 to fend for herself and my wife and I had decided to give up our lifestyle of happiness to live back in with my mom to support her as best we know how at 43 years old. Just after deciding to move all back to where we came from again with mom this time she took a terrible fall and broke her hip!! now she is in rehab for a month and while we are left to unpack the whole house she sold into a tiny apartment... she is recovering and I have to drive my wife and back to her job 20 minutes away each way and visit my mother a few times a week also. I do all the driving and my wife doesn't have a license! My mother is getting to old to drive, and won't be able to when she gets out of rehab anyways. The only good thing about all of this is that my mother has the money from the sale of the house and we needed to use that to get this apartment, and some furnishings and a newer car!

    They say the only cure for HD is understanding...very different way understanding something as serious as this and no one else in my family has done any form of research on. Very extreme
