Caregivers Face Significant Burden Managing Huntington's Disease with Limited Support

Huntington's Disease, a rare genetic condition with no cure, significantly burdens caregivers in India, as exemplified by Mahalakshmi's struggle in Andhra Pradesh. She supports eight family members while caring for her daughter diagnosed with the disease, which causes severe neurological and physical decline. Treatments exist to improve patient quality of life and ease caregiver strain, but access and awareness remain challenges, leaving many like Mahalakshmi shouldering immense weight with limited aid.
