Huntington's Disease (HD) is a progressive, hereditary neurological disease that affects cognitive, behavioral, and physical functioning. It has a severe impact on the family, the members of which are affected by the patient as well as the vulnerability of children at risk. Social workers can provide support and anticipatory guidance to patients and their families. Adult children can benefit from genetic counseling regarding their own at risk status. Community involvement in voluntary organizations is also beneficial.
