Part 1: A Conversation with Dr. Bulica on Huntington’s Disease and Caregiving

Huntington's Disease is often characterized by uncoordinated and uncontrollable movements.

I’m so excited to share this conversation with you all. One of my hopes for Millennial Caregivers was to share conversations with caregivers, patients, and medical professionals on all things caregiving.

This is a two-part series*. In Part 1, I speak Bisena Bulica, DO, a neurologist at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, MI. In Part 2, I chat with Jessica and DJ and their roles as caregiver and patient in a relationship. May is Huntington’s Disease Awareness Month, and I’m glad to have participated in these insightful conversations and learned so much about this disease.

Caregiving is a journey for everyone involved. I’m so glad to have had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Bulica and Jess and DJ. I hope you give this a listen. Below’s a little preview of the video on the importance of caregivers in a doctor’s office:

Next week, I’ll share Part 2 with Jessica and DJ!
