Understanding Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Hypermobility, and ADHD

What is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)?

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is a group of connective tissue disorders that affect the body’s ability to produce and maintain healthy collagen. This collagen is the primary building block of connective tissues like skin, ligaments, tendons, and blood vessels. In hypermobility type EDS, individuals often experience joint hypermobility—where the joints can move beyond the normal range—and fragile connective tissue, which may cause frequent dislocations, chronic pain, and skin that is more elastic than usual.

What is Hypermobility?

Hypermobility is a condition where the joints can move beyond the normal range of motion. While some people with hypermobility may not have any symptoms, others may experience joint instability, muscle strain, and pain due to the lack of stability in their joints.

ADHD and Its Connection to EDS/Hypermobility

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurological condition characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. But there is a neurodevelopmental aspect to how ADHD may intersect with EDS and hypermobility—individuals with ADHD often struggle with focus, posture, and body awareness, which can put additional strain on hypermobile joints and lead to musculoskeletal issues. ADHD can also affect nervous system regulation, leading to increased stress and tension in the body, further complicating the physical challenges that come with EDS.

The interplay between EDS, hypermobility, and ADHD can create a complex cycle of pain, stress, and musculoskeletal strain. But with the right approach, you can break this cycle and start feeling better.
