Abstract:

Huntington’s disease, or Huntington’s chorea, is considered as an orphan disease. However, chorea is not the single, and in many cases, not the most severe sign of this disease. Along with motor symptoms, psychiatric symptoms make a significant contribution to patient disability and desocialization. In addition, in many patients, mental and cognitive manifestations can significantly precede motor symptoms. This article considers the most common comorbid mental disorders in this disease, their characteristics and features of the course are given based on literature and own observations.
