It’s crucial to recognize that hEDS isn’t just a physical condition; it has a significant mental and emotional component. Due to the myriad of symptoms and the unpredictability of the condition, many with hEDS might grapple with anxiety and mood disorders.

Amidst these struggles, the resilience and strength of those with hEDS shine through. Building a supportive community, seeking therapy, and focusing on mental well-being become crucial pillars in their journey. (10)
