The article discusses the psychosocial adjustment (PSA) in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Huntington's disease (HD), comparing their quality of life and level of depressiveness. It also explores cognitive domains in C9orf72 mutation carriers and the impact of an online peer-support group intervention for adult children of ALS patients. Additionally, the study investigates cognitive alterations, apathy, and sexual behavior in ALS patients, highlighting sex differences in cognitive function and the importance of addressing sexual behavior and intimacy in ALS care.
