Random facts of the day: Neurodegenerative diseases

One of the major causes of death from Alzheimer's disease - the most noticeable symptom of which is memory loss - is respiratory infections.

One of the major causes of death from Parkinson's disease - a disease that causes uncontrollable tremors - is trauma from falling over, which is from the inability to maintain posture.

One of the major causes of death from Huntington's disease - a late onset genetic disease that disrupt cognitive and motor functions, as well as causing depression - is suicide.

O__o;

Moral of the day: don't become a case study for neuropathologists.

Er...I meant it the other way around >_>;

You get Huntington's, but you don't die from it, you commit suicide because of the disease >_>;
