Scotland's Silent Struggle with Huntington's Disease

New research from the University of Aberdeen uncovers Northern Scotland as a global hotspot for Huntington's disease. This condition, which slowly devastates the brain, has a regional rate of 14.5 per 100,000 people—over five times the global average. With hundreds potentially affected, there’s an urgent call for enhanced healthcare services and drug development to combat this neurological plight. Like a bad government policy, ignoring this threat would lead to chaos—proactive planning is crucial for survival.
