Disney Star Reveals Life-Altering Change She Kept Out of the Spotlight
Ryan said the injury left her unable to function normally for six months and required neurological rehabilitation, with some effects still lingering.
- On a September 2026 episode of Mythical Kitchen's Last Meals, actress Debby Ryan revealed that a life-altering brain injury permanently changed how she experiences everyday light and sound.
- Ryan suffered five concussions, describing the first four as "incidents" while the fifth involved "sustained shaking over a minute of time," leaving her out of commission for six months.
- Undergoing "fringe science treatment" helped Ryan get "back online," though she noted some abilities "just did not come back" following six months of intensive neurological rehabilitation.
- To manage sensory overload and "hellish" migraines, Ryan now closes her eyes to "think better," while dividing her life into "pre-incident Debby and post-incident Debby."
- Ryan credits her support system, including husband Josh Dun, with helping her navigate permanent changes; their 8-month-old daughter Felix represents hope amid ongoing health challenges.
