Compassionate Care for Calming Irritability
Addressing the Symptoms of Huntington's disease

Irritability is a common neuropsychiatric feature of HD and can precede the onset of physical symptoms. Changes in the brain of a person with HD can decrease the ability to regulate emotions and small frustrations can result in behaviors such as screaming, threatening, slamming doors, hitting walls or hurting others.

In-person workshops throughout the state will be provided on a quarterly basis to teach strategies that have been shown to reduce irritability in people with HD. You will receive behavior logs, a family safety plan, and educational materials. These workshops are designed for caregivers, family, and friends.

If you are interested in signing up for this path, please call us.
All fees can be paid with cash, check, Visa or MasterCard. HD Reach is answerable only to you and does not accept insurance. However, we can provide you with documentation for you to file with your insurance.
