July is Chronic Disease Month, a time to bring awareness to the experiences of individuals living with chronic conditions. The majority of American adults have at least one chronic disease, and 42% have more than one. Despite this, there is still such a gap in access to resources, treatments, and research. Why is that so? For one, 96% of people with these conditions have an invisible illness. So many people suffer in silence and so many live undiagnosed. In addition, historically, the health experiences of marginalized groups have been underresearched, leaving so many individuals without information and resources. These are just a couple of reasons why we need awareness and advocacy. Every patient's voice matters, and we will continue bringing the patient community together as a united front advocating for a better future. #chronicdisease #chronicdiseasemonth #patientcommunity

One of the biggest challenges social care workers will face, in assessing a person with Huntington's needs, is that they often lack insight into their own abilities and will often say "I can manage, I'm fine" when it is clear they are not. It is important to bear this in mind and take advice from family and other healthcare workers that know the person. It is important to remember that it may take longer to assess a person with Huntington's disease due to communication difficulties and slow cognitive processing of information. It is good practice to not take their first response to questions at face value. For more information see our social worker guide: https://loom.ly/AR8doZE
