Huntington's disease, now often called HD though it used to be known as Huntington's Chorea or HC, is a rare inherited genetic, neurodegenerative disease.

HD presents itself as a combination of movement, memory and psychiatric difficulties which slowly worsen over time. It is currently incurable and is life limiting. 

The most recent research into Huntington's disease has shown that enrichment can help to improve the individual experience of this condition.
