Can the earliest symptoms of Huntington's disease be non-motor?
💡 The Answer
- Huntington's disease presents with a triad of psychiatric, cognitive, and motor symptoms.
- The earliest symptoms are often subtle mood or mental problems.
- These psychiatric symptoms can precede motor symptoms for many people.
- Definitive physical symptoms like coordination problems appear later.
- This sequence explains why early diagnosis is challenging.
