The cognitive changes that people with Huntington's disease experience are 'invisible' but can have a profound effect on the ability to manage daily life.

The Huntington's Disease Association is delighted to welcome international speaker on Huntington's disease Jimmy Pollard for this webinar on Looking Behind “Huntington’s disguise”.
Jimmy says:

"Less frequently recognized physical and cognitive features of Huntington's disease often converge to create an appearance of disinterest, boredom, or lack of understanding in our loved ones. However, it might not accurately reflect what they are truly feeling or thinking. Recognising and understanding how these features combine can help carers see their loved one’s feelings and preferences more easily behind the 'disguise'."
