Huntington's Disease Dementia (HDD) is a progressive neurological condition characterized by cognitive decline, psychiatric issues, and movement disorders. It is caused by a genetic mutation in the Huntingtin gene, which leads to the degeneration of nerve cells in the brain. Caregivers play a crucial role in providing support and care to individuals with HDD, helping them manage daily activities, maintain a sense of independence, and cope with the emotional and physical challenges associated with the condition. This intermediate-level course aims to educate caregivers about the various aspects of HDD, its symptoms, progression, management strategies, and available support resources.
