Abstract

This study analyzes the psychiatric symptoms related to Huntington's disease, seeking a better understanding of its manifestations from a clinical-psychiatric approach. Through a descriptive study, data were collected from various sources, such as databases, scientific journals and specialized books. Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder caused by CAG trinucleotide repeats in the HTT gene. Symptoms vary from case to case, usually appearing between the ages of 30 and 50, although it can manifest in adolescence as juvenile Huntington's disease. With motor and psychiatric manifestations, the diagnosis combines clinical, molecular and transcranial ultrasound evaluations. Currently, treatment is palliative, focused on mitigating symptoms
