The HD View Ask Dr. Goodman Show

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2015 - 3:30 PM PST/6:30 PM EST

Tonight Dr. Goodman will be talking about aggression in Huntington’s disease. A recent article reports that aggression is common in individuals with Huntington's disease. Authors report rates of aggressive behaviors between 22% (for clinic patients) and 66% (for hospitalized patients) among individuals with HD. What do they mean by aggression, and how should we interpret these numbers? It is important to remember that aggression (as defined in this article) and violence are NOT the same thing.

However, the most important thing to learn is not how often it occurs, but how we can understand, cope with and treat aggressive behaviors in HD.
