How is HD diagnosed...?

There are many ways to see whether or not you have Huntington's disease. Your doctor will do a physical exam, and get all your medical history, as well as your family. They may ask you about recent emotional or intellectual changes you have faced. As well as a computerized tomography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan may or may not show changes to your brain's structure. Your doctor may also suggest you take a blood test to see if you have the defective gene.
