Dear Editor,
We thank Prof Barker for sharing his thoughts and experience[1] on our report of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures in Huntington's disease[2]. We agree that neuropsychiatric manifestations are extremely common in HD and most cases of unusual behaviours or movements would not fall into the category of functional disorders. Moreover we certainly do not wish to give the impression that non- epileptic...

The authors gave an in-depth account of the clinical profile of a 51-year-old male with early Huntington's disease (HD) who presented with repeated episodes of repetitive, purposeless, c...
