Hi

Everyone I am 22 years old and for some reason i am really scared i
have HD.

I am currently suffering from depression and am on antidepressants
but alo now and again i get jumpy movements of my head, arms, legs
etc not very often and it onlys last for a second.
Both of my parents are in their 40's and are healthy and one set of
my grandpaents are still alive and their are fairly healthy.
And my other nan is in her 60's and she is fairly healthy as well if
my grandparents and parents does that mean im not at any risk of
developing the disease.
Or is it possible to skip my grandparents and goto my parents? but
wouldnt my parent sbe showing symptoms by now?
And is it possible for HD to skip my grandparents and parents then
come to me?
How do you know if their is a fmaily history of the disease.
If their is no family history what are the chances of getting HD?
Please give me some advice on this matter please t put my mind at
rest.
Thanks

Karl.

your friend is in since we cant see her or dont know her. I am
surprised the Doctor does not tell her what stage she is in. Your
friend knows she has HD but does not want to know about it? Is she in
denial?
