17 Celebs Battling SERIOUS Illnesses 

Sleep paralysis is not an illness. It IS terrifying and i suffer from sleep paralysis for years but i would call it more of a disorder than an illness

If you included Millie on here, you could of also put Gaten with his cleidocranial dysplasia

Sarah Hyland's body rejected her dad's kidney and she went on dialysis, that's 4 hours 3 times a week to clean the fluids and toxins from your body. Her brother gave her a kidney so she has had a second transplant. Plus Sarah has endometriosis. She is such a fighter, such an inspiration.

I’m laughing at the people calling Type 1 Diabetes not serious because they most likely have no clue what it actually is and what comes with it. It’s not just eating sugar whenever you want. It’s passing out, possible seizures, and lots of doctor trips. It’s not fun and it’s not cool

My name is Bella Thorne, and this is the story of the time I found out I had dyslexia. I remember when I started first grade. Right away, it was awful because I couldn't read as well as the other kids. My brain mixed up letters like b and d and m and w. Dyslexia is different for EVERYONE who has it. For me, it just made it harder to read or write. I started working really hard on how to read better. My family helped me by making me read everything from menus, to cereal boxes, to road signs. Today, I read a year above my grade level. And I learned to face my problems, not run away from them. Dyslexia makes things hard for me but, not impossible. You just watched a TTI, on Disney Channel

This video is effed up in several ways. First, deafness is not an illness. You can't die from a hearing loss. Dyslexia is not an illness either, it's a learning disability. Learning disabilities can't kill you. And how is synesthesia an illness? It doesn't adversely affect yourself or anything else. It's just a different way of thinking and remembering. People need to learn what an illness really is.

“Serious diseases” Millie Bobby brown *is deaf in one ear*

When did dyslexia become a serious illness?

nick jonas used to give kids with diabetes free vip passes to meet him before his concerts and take pics with them and just talk. he’s a pure soul.

I love Celebs that aren’t afraid to reveal the dark part of their lives...

"sEriOuS iLlnEsS" are you really implying that dyslexia and sleep paralysis could even be grouped together with actual illnesses like anorexia and lupus? sure dyslexia and sleep paralysis are serious on their own but they definitely should not be in this video. thank you for listening to my ted talk lmaoo

Dyslexia is not an illness... I have dyslexia and it doesn't affect my health. It also doesn't mean you're more dumb than the other kids, you just have to work harder on languages to get the same result in those classes. Right now I study architecture and I have no problem keeping up with the rest of the class.

Synesthesia and Dyslexia (and I think sleep paralysis) aren't illnesses. Dyslexia is a learning disability. Sleep Paralysis can happen to almost everyone. And Synesthesia is not even close to an illness

They literally left out gates matterazo

I love when celebs talk about their own struggle and makes fans know they struggle with stuff like anyone else

You should’ve switched at least one of these with Lil Wayne. He has epilepsy and every time he has a seizure it’s so bad that he has to be hospitalized.

... you don't say "impressive illness"...wtf

Number 17 It's called SYNESTHESIA, not SYNTHESIA. And it's definitely not an illness.

Sleep paralysis ISNT a disease....... And neither is dyslexia.......

I wouldn’t call deafness an illness, in my opinion, am I wrong cause I don’t really know?

There is SO much wrong in this video.... first, tachycardia is not an illness, it is a symptom of other things like anxiety, POTS/dysautonomia and lots of other things. Second, deafness is not an illness. It can be genetic or come along with other illnesses. Lastly, synesthesia is not an illness/condition, synesthetes have the ability to connect things like numbers to colours or feelings. Please don't post things without knowing what you are saying

Dyslexia and lupus cannot be in the same category.. And, btw, if you're gonna mention dyslexia, then name a lot of other dyslexic celebs, and while you're at it, you can also name celebs that are autistic.

Puts lupus/Lyme disease in the same category as sleep paralysis 🙄

How is dyslexia a SERIOUS ILLNESS???

Sleep paralysis is a disease? I thought most people has experience it.

It’s also extremely inaccurate to just depict hasimotos and other thyroid problems as just “acne” and “weight fluctuation” when it’s so much more. It’s chronic fatigue. It’s infertility. Its hair loss. It’s so much.

where is. Avril Lavigne Lyme. she is going hard, still, SUPPORT TO ALL THESE AND AVRIL

Um Dyslexia is not a illness, it’s just a learning disability

Sleep paralysis - scary, but not dangerous or uncommon

Is that why Millie is always so loud and interrupting people?

Sleep paralysis - while it can be scary - IS NOT a "serious illness." And seriously, dyslexia? Not a SERIOUS illness. Same goes for synthesia (especially that one. Synthesia is hard to understand fully, but not hard to live with, and is certainly not life threatening. It doesn't even actually have a negative effect on her life.) THOSE ARE NOT "SERIOUS ILLNESSES"

How rude of you! ignoring Gaga with her fibromyalgia

I give kudos to all of these beautiful women who are going through these conditions, illnesses or disabilities. Celebrities are human too no matter how rich or famous they must be they still have to work hard and on top of that be in the stress of the media judging everything they do. To anyone who also suffers from a condition, disability or a illness I hope you're well and able to manage it the best you can! Just like Miley, I too suffer from tachycardia and I'm only 21. I also have a anxiety disorder so the stress caused on my body from that doesn't help my heart but regardless I'm thankful to be here and alive. ♥

A disorder is different from "serious disease"

I'm sorry and am in no way saying that Bella didn't struggle with dyslexia but it has become quite common and is not so "serious". There are other celebs out there who have struggled with far worse and continue to inspire others and who deserve to be in this list. End of rant.

As someone with Hashimoto’s, this made it seem like a small disease that just makes you breakout and gain weight. Hashimoto’s is much more complicated than that as it also impacts: blood pressure, body temperature regulation, heart health, memory, circulation, eyesight, hair growth/loss, muscle weakness/aches, food intolerance (gluten, dairy, etc), severe fatigue, peripheral neuropathy, depression, anxiety, vitamin B-12 absorption, vitamin D absorption, sex drive, fertility, and the list goes on. I don’t wish this illness on anyone - It took away my ability to work for 3 years, it had me bedridden all of 2016, it destroyed my confidence, and it nearly took my life. It’s been a long battle, but I’m winning.💜

How is did Millie make this list but not Gaten like wtf

Knowing now that Lorde has synesthesia makes so much sense. As a synesthete myself, I totally get it now. Her music often sounds a little out of place almost, with very little sense sometimes, but knowing her senses get blended it all makes sense now. That's wonderful (I love Lorde)

What about Lady Gaga? I was surprised she wasn't on this list. She has been so open about her fibromyalgia and even created a documentary about her struggles of being an artist while suffering from fibromyalgia. I love how celebs are so brave to open about their struggles that we may go through too. So inspiring and strong.

“Impressive illness” the heck

Half of these aren't 'serious illnesses' for example dyslexia is not a serious illness that will kill you it is a learning disability. Lupus is a serious illness though because it can kill you and requires medication and operations etc, to prevent you from dying. I am in no way saying that any of these issues people face are not important they all are and have their own struggles but labelling them as 'serious illnesses' is really out of perspective and miseducates people.

Millie: "I'm deaf on one ear" Clever: OMG!!!! SHE HAS A *SERIOUS* ILLNESS

WHAT ABOUT AVRIL

Okay dyslexia isn't an illness, neither is sleep paralyzes or being born half deaf? but what about Sia's autoimmune disease? Or Gaga's fibromyalgia and lupus (tho it's not active) Clevver. I love you but c'mon.

Why is Avril Lavigne not on this list but Bella Thorne is????

lorde's synesthesia makes her even more fascinating and intriguing

coulda put gaten instead of millie 🤷 cleidocranial dysplasia (is that how you spell it?) is a lot more serious

I love Demi Lovato. She said that mental health should involve talking to someone that there is help out there for you. She also mentioned that her father had schiphorhenia

Maybe that's why Millie is so loud

Actually I'm glad that these celebs have been vocal about these issues which makes other people going through that feel more at ease by knowing they are not alone.

For me when I got sleep paralysises many times, I was in extreme stress. Getting sleep paralysis is frightening. But I don't know this is an illness or not.

WHERE IS GAGA??? THIS IS SERIOUSLY INSENSITIVE!!!

R.I.P Cameron Boyce. 🙏🏼❤️

I have endometriosis as well, so Halsey has become one of my biggest role models. it's a serious, painful, debilitating illness that almost no one knows about. all my love to Halsey for trying to raise awareness for this awful disease💛

PLEASE.... serious illnesses...?? dyslexia, hashimoto's, psoriasis, partial deafness..??? i mean if those are serious illnesses then the world is saved! where is the mention to Hugh Jackman, Lady Gaga, Charlie Sheen, Kylie Minogue and soo many other people fighting actually "SERIOUS illnesses" i mean look it up before you use the term ..

Dyslexia is not a serious illness..

And Cameron Boyce suffered from epilepsy :(

Synesthesia is not an illness. It is a gift and a bonus in creativity. You should read the tell tale brain by ramachandran

What about Avril Lavigne when she had Lyme disease

ah yes the serious illness of dyslexia

For all of you who says "this isn't a serious illness" you people who don't know what it's like for them, so it may not be serious for you whether you have it or not, you are not them nor their bodies or in their heads these things take toles on people in different ways so what may not be serious to you might be to them it's different for everyone

My biggest faults with this video 1) Lorde should not be on this list 2) talk about gaten as well as Millie 3) Halsey is battling multiple illnesses include them both don't pick and choose her life is affected by both endo and bipolar 4) The way this video was handled leaves a bad taste in my mouth No hate but this video seemed click baity from the start. I love clevver but sometimes there news videos aren't great to say the least

Kendall, there are people dying.

I was diagnosed with hoshimotos at 16 and its such a relief to hear that imnot the only one

I really love Panic! At The Disco and how open their lead singer, Brendon Urie, is about his ADHD and the fact that he smokes weed to help him deal with it. He is open about the fact that he did get into lots of trouble at school as a kid because of it like getting excluded from school. I just thought its really cool that he is so open about it!

Pete Davidson should have been included for speaking out about having borderline personality disorder. No one ever talks about borderline personality disorder because of the intense stigma that comes along with it. So, being diagnosed with bpd at the end of last year I felt extremely alone because I never heard about bpd before. No one I know personally ever talked about personality disorders. It would have been nice to see borderline personality disorder included in the conversation for once... I mean you brought up TWO celebs who deal with the same thing... You can do better clevver.

Selena Gomez: Lupus Miley Cyrus: Tachycardia Nick Jonas: Type 1 Diabetes Demi Lovato: Bi Polar Disorder Halsey: Endometriosis Zara Larsson: Sleep Paralysis Jade Thirlwall: Anorexia Shailene Woodley: Scoliosis Millie Bobby Brown: Deaf in one ear Victoria Justice: Hashimotos Disease Gigi Hadid: Hashimotos Disease Bella Hadid: Lyme Disease Kendall Jenner: Sleep Paralysis Cara Delevingne: Psoriasis Sarah Hyland: Kidney Dysplasia Bella Thorne: Dyslexia Lorde: Synesthesia

“ The most impressive illness” really chick🤦🏽‍♀️

Fun fact Nick Jonas was kicked out of a Panic! At the Disco concert because he was giving himself his insulin and security thought he was shooting up

I have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 4. It was rough for such a young child to live month to the hospital and not knowing why and having all this problems with weight and food and body in general, but also with soul and nerves cause everybody say that I can't control my anger but they don't understand that this happens because of diabetes . They also don't know that everyday people with diabetes try to survive from the danger of dying , because it's easy to fall in coma or to have your brain ready to explode . They know nothing about it and they keep saying : "At least you don't have cancer " or " You ate lots of sugar right ?"or "you can just eat healthy and exercise " . It's not that easy . And now that I know that a person like Nick Jonas has diabetes I know that I can do whatever I want , even if it's kinda dangerous . And even if I want to be a musician , I decided to be a doctor for children with diabetes. That's all I had to say . P.S. The next time you'll meet a person with diabetes help him and don't eat that much in front of him . It's really hard .

I thought you would talk about Avril Lavigne, Bella Hadid isn’t the only celebrity who suffered from Lyme disease

Who else recently finished stranger things 3 and pressed on this video cause of Millie in the thumbnail

I really feel bad for Gigi and her family.. She really sounds and looks so sad in that video clip..But now her they're all happy and healthy!

Is this fr tho? Tachycardia is not an illness or a disease. It's a sign of an underlying disease or may be a result of taking certain drugs. Sleep paralysis is also not an illness it is a symptom, may be of narcolepsy. Dyslexia is a disorder and a disorder is different from an illness. And it's SYNESTHESIA not synthesia, it's not an illness it's a neurological condition or disorder. I loooove Clevver but please get your facts straight and stop spreading wrong information. Im a medical student so i kinda know what i am talking about. :)

synesthesia is not illness

So no one is gonna mention our badass queen Avril Lavigne is fighting Lyme disease or applaud her for trying to spread light on it?! 🙄

Jade is actually a relative of mine and she’s been such a inspiration to me

Stay strong, Selena, Miley, Nick, Demi 💕

*fights the urge to get angry at every single person in the comment section who's saying 'anxiety isnt serious'*

Wow I never knew Millie Bobby Brown was deaf in one ear.

Change this to 17 Teen Celebs battling disabilities, illnesses, and conditions!!!

Wow good job Clevver News. Synthesia is a piano app. Second, synesthesia isn't a 'serious illness.' Everyone in my immediate family has it except for my dad. I would describe it as subconsciously associating things with colors or things with sounds. And it's not something you have to overcome or battle.

I have no hearing in my left ear and some hearing in my right. Therefore I have serious illness and you must pitty me

I feel for Jade I really do I've been battling Anorexia Nervosa for 8 yr's, plus I also have sleep paralysis scary as hell

Bruh I literally cried the day I found out Selena had lupus.

What about Shaun White? Lady GaGa? Avril Lavigne? I've had several heart surgeries, Shaun White is kind of a hero to me.

I’m deaf in one ear, So it makes me happy finding out that one of my favourite celebrities has the same condition. But it’s not really a serious illness.

Is joslin still making these thumbnails ?!! 😒 you guys need to stop using that met gala selina pucture

Ok for the people who are commenting “what about this person?!” they are not going to pack EVERY celebrity with a illness in this video

Wtf does most impressive illness even mean???? That is so insensitive to say.

I am thirteen, and I struggle with severe scoliosis. I have to wear a brace 22 hours a day. I understand the struggle.

Dyslexia isn't a serious illness its a learning disability. This doesn't effect your health at all. Speaking from experience.

Some of these are not serious illnesses. Diseases and organ malfunctions are perfectly understandable. But slight deafness and dyslexia are not illnesses, especially dyslexia. An illness usually alludes to a person being sick or unwell, mentally or physically. A learning difficulty does not render a person to be sick, it's just a slower rate of processing information and understanding written language. It may be very frustrating or embarrassing and have negative effects on mental health, but dyslexia itself does not make a person ill and is not a serious illness.

Avril has been diagnosed with Lyme disease and she has really struggled with it. Where’s Avril?

I have hashimoto’s and it’s truly devastating for me.

Selenaa 💔💔

Dyslexia isn’t a serous illness😂

I can relate to Nick Jonas I have type one diabetes and it is so hard to deal with and is a struggle every day and I wouldn’t know what to do without the people in my wonderful life!

ok don't call a disease impressive- just saying
