Treatment of Huntington’s disease (HD) is currently symptomatic and supportive. This is sometimes expressed as saying that there is no treatment to alter the natural history of the condition. There is no specific drug treatment for HD but drugs which are commonly used are dopamine blockers or selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Sometimes mood stabilizers are used. Non drug treatments are also very valuable and should not be overlooked. As important as the drug treatment is the input from other support services such as social services, physiotherapists, and speech therapists. This is not an exhaustive list.
