Dementia symptoms: Are signs developing at lightning speed? It could be a rare disease

Those with Huntington’s disease may have experienced emotional and behavioural issues for years before a diagnosis.

People with this condition may have suffered from severe depression, apathy, irritability and obsessive-compulsive behaviours.

Specifically, those with Huntington’s tend to suffer from “procedural memory” problems.

To illustrate, they may be able to remember recent events, familiar places and faces, but can struggle with remembering how to carry out simple tasks.
