Huntington's does not have a cure,but however, can be treated. The symptoms can be lessened to make life less difficult. "Drugs can be used to prevent the involuntary movements and control the mood swings and depression, while in later stages of the disease speech therapy is useful both to improve speech and facilitate swallowing." A proper diet preventing weight loss may also help other symptoms as well.
