Erin Moriarty Opens Up About Her Two-Year Graves' Disease Battle

Actress Erin Moriarty has revealed her two-year battle with Graves’ disease, an autoimmune condition affecting the thyroid. The diagnosis came in May 2025, but her symptoms first appeared in late 2023, disrupting her work and personal life. Moriarty’s health struggles began with extreme fatigue, numbness in her hands and feet, and heart palpitations. She also suffered from urinary pain, severe mood swings, and short-term memory loss while filming The Boys. The illness left her emotionally drained, worsened by public criticism of her changing appearance.

Her condition escalated to a mental-health crisis, leading to hospitalisation. Graves’ disease, known for causing insomnia, anxiety, weight loss, and rapid heartbeat, took a heavy toll. Moriarty later described how the illness stole two years of her life—impacting her career, relationships, and creativity. Now speaking openly, she hopes to raise awareness. Her message is clear: people should listen to their bodies and seek help before symptoms worsen.

Moriarty’s decision to share her story aims to support others facing similar health battles. By going public, she wants to encourage early intervention and self-advocacy. The actress continues to recover while urging others not to ignore warning signs.
