Coping: Huntington's is an inherited disease of the brain that cannot be cured at present by medical treatment. Medical care can alleviate the symptoms and counseling can help patient and family cope with the difficult course of the disease. The Mayo Clinic web page offers resources. <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/huntingtons-disease/basics/coping-support/con-20030685" rel="nofoll

Useful: Counseling can assist in coping and may address both cognitive and depression issues, but is of little impact in treating the underlying progressive process, which we cannot cure at this time
