Those with HD typically begin to develop symptoms by the age of 20 years (Tolin, Meunier, Frost, & Steketee, 2010), and 2-6% of the United States population may be diagnosed with this disorder (APA, 2013). Although symptoms typically present earlier in the lifespan, the APA (2013) reported that HD is more commonly identified within the older adult population (i.e., 55-94 years); left untreated, symptoms typically escalate over time.
