Treatment
There is no cure for HD. Treatment aims to help control symptoms.
Medications
Drugs can help control abnormal movements and emotional symptoms of HD. These include:
- Sedatives or minor tranquilizers, such as benzodiazepines
- Major tranquilizers, like haloperidol or phenothiazine
- Antidepressants
Physical Fitness
Staying physically active helps people with HD to function better and longer. Often physical and occupational therapy may be of some benefit.
