Amy Huynh joins Dr. Shane to unpack the complexities of Huntington’s disease, from its early cognitive and emotional challenges to its impact on daily life.

As a Clinical Neuropsychology PhD candidate at Monash University, she is developing a community-informed program to support those in the early stages of the disease.

With symptoms like memory loss, anxiety, and difficulties with organisation, Huntington’s disease impacts far more than just movement, affecting cognitive and emotional functioning as well.

Amy discusses how diagnosis works, the challenges of distinguishing symptoms from normal aging, and the importance of providing practical support for patients and families.
