To show the impact that cognitive impairment has on people affected by Huntington's disease and members of the family we created this short film. In our film we speak to someone with Juvenile Huntington's disease and someone who grew up in a Huntington's household. We also interviewed healthcare professionals who specialise in Huntington's disease which really shows the impact that cognitive impairment has on people and how early intervention and an understanding of the disease is paramount.
Thank you to Holly, Billy, Jenny, Poppy and Alex for taking part in the film. Thank you to the West Midlands Regional Huntington’s Disease Service at Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust.
