Huntington Disease treatment in Cancún

Huntington's disease is a neurological disorder of genetic origin and progressive nature that affects movement, mood, and mental abilities. It is passed from parents to children.

Common symptoms:

• Involuntary and irregular movements (chorea)
• Changes in mood and behavior
• Difficulties with memory and concentration

Common causes: It is due to a hereditary alteration in a gene, so there is usually a family history of the disease.

Which specialist treats it? The neurologist is the point of reference for following the symptoms, and the geneticist is helpful for understanding the hereditary component and providing guidance to the family, with support from the internist. If there is a family history or involuntary movements appear, having it assessed by a professional makes it possible to better support each stage.
