Former Disney star Debby Ryan says she sustained a 'life-altering' brain injury
Ryan said treatment helped, but some effects from the injury and five prior concussions still remain.
- On Tuesday, September 15, former Disney Channel star Debby Ryan revealed during an interview on the YouTube show "Mythical Kitchen" that she sustained a "life-altering" brain injury following five concussions.
- Describing a clear divide between "pre-incident Debby and post-incident Debby," Ryan explained the injury resulted from sustained shaking lasting over a minute, leaving her "out of commission" for six months.
- After six months of neurological rehab failed, Ryan tried a "fringe science treatment," though she noted "hellish" migraines persist because the injury made "the world really loud and too bright."
- Although treatment helped, Ryan said "some things just did not come back," crediting her husband, Twenty One Pilots drummer Josh Dun, and her "amazing team of people around" for support.
- Known for roles on Disney Channel series "The Suite Life on Deck" and "Jessie," Ryan has since starred in Netflix's "Insatiable" and now balances her recovery with motherhood after welcoming her first child last year.
