Brian Austin Green details decade-long battle with mysterious neurological disorder

Brian Austin Green disclosed on his podcast that a mysterious neurological disorder struck him when he was about 39, rendering him unable to walk, talk, read or write, and disconnecting his mind from his body. The condition, which remained without a definitive diagnosis, involved internal inflammation and was linked to emotional stress. It took roughly four and a half years for him to regain basic functions, during which he had to relearn daily activities.

Therapy with a Ukrainian counselor helped him address deep-seated emotional issues that he believes contributed to the crisis. Green also referenced a later episode in 2022 when ulcerative colitis confined him to bed for six weeks. He noted that the experience forced him to consider reinventing his career, but ultimately therapy guided his recovery and personal growth.
