What is Huntington’s Disease?
Huntington’s Disease is a genetic condition that causes the gradual breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. Symptoms typically appear between ages 30 and 50 and worsen over time, affecting physical movement, mental health, and cognitive function. It may cause involuntary movements (chorea), mood changes, and speech or swallowing difficulties. Having an ICE card ensures that emergency responders are aware of your diagnosis and can provide appropriate and compassionate care without delay.
