F02.2: Dementia in Huntington disease
You have an inherited condition that changes nerve cells in the brain. The brain then gets smaller and is no longer able to carry out its tasks. One may have difficulties thinking and with one’s own mood. One may also be unable to control one’s movements. This condition is called Huntington disease. As a result, you have developed dementia symptoms. The memory may get worse. So you are finding it difficult to memorize new things. You may no longer be able to judge everyday situations so well, and you may sometimes not know where you are. Your mood may swing and suddenly change. One may feel depressed and lose the desire to do anything. One often finds it difficult to deal with everyday life.
