There is a very pressing need to frankly discuss one of the most debilitating symptoms in the neuropsychiatric sequelae of “softer” symptoms in Huntington’s Disease- sub-cortical “frontal” dementia. Unfortunately, since there are far more patients with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and the cortical dementia associated with it, virtually all medical professionals recognize it more easily and disappointingly assume that person’s with other neurological diseases, especially Huntington’s Disease (HD), should look, act and respond the same way to questioning as those with AD do. This is sad how HD people are treated in the US.
