10 Huntington's Disease Symptoms
8. Memory Loss
Memory loss is also known as amnesia. It can be described as having problems remembering events, dates, names, or even people. There are two main types of memory loss. Anterograde amnesia is when an individual has problems making new memories, as seen in patients after major head trauma. On the other hand, retrograde amnesia is when a person struggles to remember past events.
Many patients with Huntington’s disease may struggle with their memory. It usually affects their short-term memory but this may vary from patient to patient. This is one of the early signs of cognitive decline that a person with Huntington’s disease may experience.
