What can a psychologist do for the Huntington’s Disease patient?

A psychologist works with a patient with Huntington disease to evaluate psychological functioning.  They provide treatment of emotional disorders.  In addition, a psychologist

can provide counseling for couples as well as family support for those dealing with Huntington's Disease.  A psychologist provides patient consultation for those going

through the pre-symptomatic genetic testing program.
