The Boys actor Erin Moriarty outlined a prolonged health crisis culminating in a 2025 Graves’ disease diagnosis, underscoring challenges in recognizing women’s symptoms. The Boys star Erin Moriarty recounts escalating signs consistent with Graves’ disease in a Time essay, describing incapacitating fatigue, heart palpitations, and cognitive decline. Erin Moriarty says memory loss complicated work on The Boys as Graves’ disease remained unidentified until 2025. She reported sleeping up to 19 hours, weakness that made walking feel unsafe, and difficulty accessing emotional presence. After the show’s final season finished in 2025, she received the diagnosis, later disclosing a severe mental health crisis and hospitalization. She argues that women’s illnesses are often minimized and concludes, “The body speaks long before it screams.”
