Understanding huntington’s disease

Huntington’s disease, or HD, is an inherited disorder that affects movement, behavior, mood and thinking. Because it runs in families, several generations can be affected at once, and relatives live with the question of their own risk.

Why it helps

How peer support helps with huntington’s disease

Peer support can help with Huntington’s disease because few people in the community understand it, which leaves families isolated. A group offers company from people who know what living with uncertainty is like.

Inside the room

What huntington’s disease groups often cover

  • Deciding whether or not to have genetic testing
  • Living at risk and the stress of not knowing
  • Changes in mood and behavior in someone you love
  • Caring for more than one family member

ShareWell groups are peer support and do not give medical advice, so please keep working with your care team on anything about diagnosis or treatment. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
