Everyday life

People with Huntington's disease have difficulty focusing on specific, simple tasks and normally need assistance in things that they have done their entire life.  Getting dressed becomes a hassle, taking a bath becomes difficult, and making lunch becomes impossible.  As the person finds themselves less and less capable of doing tasks themselves, there self worth lessens, and depression may start to sink in.  It is important for people helping them to try and modify the tasks so that it can become possible for the person with HD to cope.
