People with Huntington's disease usually notice their symptoms in middle age, but a new study suggests that it actually begins long before then. The villain is a rogue protein that causes the disease seems to cause trouble as the brain develop according to Science News.

A few people may also develop obsessive behaviors and problems that are similar to schizophrenia, but it doesn't happen all the time. Studies have shown that suicide rate for people with this disease are relatively high. They usually consider ending their life when they feel the symptoms, when the condition is becoming clear, and when they start to depend on people. Most symptoms may appear at any age but most will develop problems between the ages of 35 and 55 as their nerve cells regress in the part of the brain called the Striatum. Changes in the brain's wiring show up years earlier, as reported by Jessica Lee of the University of Iowa at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience.

A new study however discovered that there is a disorder called Juvenile Huntington's disease. This disease is an uncommon form of the condition that can happen in people younger than 20 years old. Common signs for this uncommon disease include a rapid decline in school performance, changes in handwriting, and fits. Problems with movement, such as being slow, stiff, and muscle twitching can also be found for youngsters having Huntington 's disease.

Huntington's disease is a devastating disorder that is inherited marked by uncontrollable movements, unstable emotional state and mental illness. Most people with Huntington's disease may not be aware or recognize that they have problems. Many people with Huntington's disease have depression. This usually happens as part of the condition, not just as a reaction to having the disease. They mostly have continuous low mood, low self-esteem, a lack of motivation in things, and mostly feel hopelessness.
