EDS Healthcare in Illinois
Illinois lacks an EDS Society Center of Excellence and has no dedicated multi-specialty EDS program despite Chicago's large medical community. Individual providers such as Dr. Matthew Mandell in internal medicine see EDS patients, but there is no coordinated EDS center. Indiana University Health's EDS & HSD Clinic in Indianapolis, about 3 hours from Chicago, is the nearest Center of Excellence.
Chicago's status as an "EDS physician desert" means that even patients in the state's largest metro area struggle to find experienced EDS care. Downstate Illinois faces even greater challenges with very few providers familiar with EDS. Many patients travel to Indianapolis, which adds time and expense.
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.
