Hypermobility refers to the ability of joints to move beyond the normal range of motion. It can cause pain and discomfort in individuals who have extremely flexible joints. Joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS) is a genetic condition characterized by extreme flexibility along with symptoms such as pain. About 30% of the population is affected by hypermobility, and around 10% of them experience symptoms. Hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) are connective tissue disorders that cause joint hypermobility, instability, injury, and pain. Diagnosis of hypermobility syndrome is typically done using the Beighton score and Brighton criteria. Treatment usually focuses on improving muscle strength and fitness to protect the joints. It is advised not to train to fatigue in order to prevent further instability. Overall, hypermobility can have various systemic symptoms and affect daily functioning.
Emotional Dysregulation is a term used to describe a range of emotional responses that are not within a desirable scope of emotive response, considering the stimuli. This condition is often associated with several mental health conditions including DMDD, BPD, and ADHD. Individuals with emotional dysregulation experience intense emotions more frequently and for longer durations, and have significant skills deficits in emotion. They may feel overwhelmed, have difficulties controlling impulsive behaviors, or have angry outbursts. Emotional dysregulation is a separate condition from ADHD, but the two are closely related as people with ADHD are more likely to develop emotional dysregulation. Examples of emotional dysregulation include extreme mood swings, volatile emotions, impulsive actions, and difficulty managing stress. Treatment for emotional dysregulation may include therapy, medication, and self-care techniques such as mindfulness and relaxation.
