3. Huntington’s disease

Huntington’s disease is a genetic disorder that is responsible for dementia. The first is the juvenile onset, which can occur during childhood or adolescence.

The second variant is called the adult-onset, and it can show its symptoms when people are in their 30s or 40s. This illness results in the brain’s nerve cells getting damaged too early, which can cause movement issues as well as mental deterioration.

Symptoms that are linked to Huntington’s disease include poor movements, like trouble walking and difficulty swallowing. Similar to the majority of other forms of brain damage, Huntington’s disease symptoms also include depression, mood swings, and anger.
