Early therapeutic success in Huntington's chorea: with a commentary on a localised community in the Highlands of Scotland

Lack of insight often allows patients with Huntington's Chorea to escape from that mental anguish which might be expected if they could foresee their future. Life would be intolerable if they realised that a comparatively early death offered the only release from years of progressive chorea during which they would slowly develop a dementia and probably a psychosis. The suffering often falls instead to the families who are responsible for the care of these pathetic and distressing patients.
