“…A further point of ambiguity lays on the concept of gJHM as a natural extension of a specific somatotype [Bulbena et al, ; Pailhez et al, , ]. The relationship is likely to exist but is not direct (i.e., JHM ↔ somatotype).…”

“…The foresightedness of including Marfanoid habitus among the minor items of the Brighton criteria [Grahame et al, ] supports such an assumption. Accordingly, two articles aimed at scrutinizing the relationships between panic disorder and somatotype found that the ectomorphic habitus was independently associated with gJHM [Bulbena et al, ; Pailhez et al, ]. The process of understanding the effects that defective connective tissue may have on morphogenesis is still in its infancy.…”

Psychological distress is a known feature of generalized joint hypermobility (gJHM), as well as of its most common syndromic presentation, namely Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, hypermobility type (a.k.a. joint hypermobility syndrome - JHS/EDS-HT), and significantly contributes to the quality of life of affected individuals. Most published articles dealt with the link between gJHM (or JHS/EDS-HT) and anxiety-related conditions, and a novel generation of studies is emerging aimed at investigating the psychopathologic background of such an association. In this paper, literature review was carried out with a semi-systematic approach spanning the entire spectrum of psychopathological findings in gJHM and JHS/EDS-HT. Interestingly, in addition to the confirmation of a tight link between anxiety and gJHM, preliminary connections with depression, attention deficit (and hyperactivity) disorder, autism spectrum disorders, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder were also found. Few papers investigated the relationship with schizophrenia with contrasting results. The mind-body connections hypothesized on the basis of available data were discussed with focus on somatotype, presumed psychopathology, and involvement of the extracellular matrix in the central nervous system. The hypothesis of positive Beighton score and alteration of interoceptive/proprioceptive/body awareness as possible endophenotypes in families with symptomatic gJHM or JHS/EDS-HT is also suggested. Concluding remarks addressed the implications of the psychopathological features of gJHM and JHS/EDS-HT in clinical practice.

“…With regard to extraarticular JHS symptoms, the following should be highlighted as the most important: ecchymosis, hemorrhages and peripheric circulatory phenomena (e.g., Raynaud's phenomenon), aneurysm rupture, spontaneous pneumothorax, diverticulosis, hydronephrosis, hernias (inguinal, umbilical, and crural), vaginal and uterine prolapses, and myopia [9][10][11]. The asthenic somatotype has also been related, with a higher rate being shown in patients with panic disorder and agoraphobia than in psychiatric or medical comparison individuals [12].…”

Joint hypermobility (JH) is considered a common benign, hereditary, overlap, connective tissue disorder with a prevalence in the general population of about 10% in European populations and 25% in other ethnic groups. JH shows an association with mitral valve prolapse and fibromyalgia. However, the most significant and important association between joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS) and any other disorder from a clinical point of view is with panic disorder. This article summarizes all published studies on JHS and anxiety, analyzing the main results and limitations. An overview of the etiologic explanation of the association between JH and anxiety, with special focus on genetic findings, is also included. The most relevant conclusions are the following: JHS is more prevalent in individuals with panic disorder/agoraphobia, and patients with JHS present with greater prevalence of panic disorder/agoraphobia. In addition, there is an association between JHS severity and severity of anxiety, and mitral valve prolapse plays a secondary role in the association between JHS and anxiety. New fields of research based on these data are suggested.

In this chapter, after summarizing the concept and diagnosis of the Joint Hypermobility Hyperlaxity , we review case control studies in two directions "nxiety in Joint Hypermobility and Joint Hypermobility in "nxiety disorders, studies in nonclinical samples, review papers, and one incidence study. Collected evidence tends to confirm the strength of the association described two and a half decades ago.Common mechanisms involved include genetics, autonomic nervous system dysfunctions, and interoceptive and exteroceptive processes. Considering clinical and nonclinical data, pathophysiological mechanisms, and present nosological status, we suggest a new Neuroconnective phenotype in which together around a common core "nxiety-Collagen hyperlaxity, it includes five dimensions behavioral, psychopathology, somatic symptoms, somatosensory symptoms, and somatic illnesses. Somatic illnesses include irritable bowel, dysfunctional esophagus, multiple chemical sensitivity, dizziness or unsteadiness central vestibular pattern , chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, glossodynia, vulvodynia, hypothyroidism, asthma, migraine, temporomandibular dysfunction, and intolerances or food and drug hypersensitivity. It is envisaged that new descriptions of anxiety disorders and also of some psychosomatic conditions will emerge and different nosological approaches will be required.
