Unfortunately, there is no cure nor treatment for this disease. Nor is there a way to stop the disease from getting worse. Although, dopamine blockers (hormones produced by the adernal glands which are located on top of the kidneys and are released into the blood in times of emotional or physical stress) are distributed to help reduce abnormal behaviors and movements. And other drugs are used to try to control extra movements. The only thing to do for a person with huntington's disease is to try to make them as comfortable as possible. Some evidence have proved that the co-enzyme Q10 can be used to help slow down the disease.
NOTE: Depression and suicide are common among people with this disease.!
