EDS Healthcare in Tennessee
Vanderbilt University Medical Center's Autonomic Dysfunction Center in Nashville is particularly relevant for EDS patients with POTS and other forms of dysautonomia. The Nashville area is growing in EDS resources. IU Health's EDS & HSD Clinic in Indianapolis is the nearest EDS Society Center of Excellence, about 4 hours from Nashville. Memphis patients may access programs in other regions.
Nashville has the strongest resources, but patients outside the Nashville and Memphis metro areas face limited access. Rural areas of East Tennessee, the Cumberland Plateau, and West Tennessee have very few providers familiar with EDS. The nearest Center of Excellence in Indianapolis requires significant travel.
Finding Mental Health for EDS
Look for a therapist who has worked with chronic illness patients and understands that EDS-related anxiety and depression often have physical triggers, not just psychological ones.
