Her latest hospitalization comes after years of battling the debilitating illness, which often leaves her with severe fatigue, pain, brain fog, and emotional strain. Lyme disease, caused by tick bites, is notoriously difficult to treat in chronic cases. Bella has spoken openly about her condition, calling the journey “excruciating and deeply isolating.” Bella’s battle is shared by her mother, Yolanda Hadid, and brother, Anwar Hadid, who were also diagnosed with Lyme disease. Yolanda has been candid about the challenges of supporting Bella through recurring flare-ups, describing the illness as an “invisible disability” that robs her daughter of normalcy.
Earlier this year, Yolanda revealed that Bella endured a month of intensive treatment, facing “countless setbacks” in her efforts to manage symptoms. Despite the hardships, the family has remained resilient and vocal about raising awareness for Lyme disease. Alongside her hospital photos, Bella shared quiet moments of beauty: sunsets, city views, and a rainbow outside her window. These small details resonated with fans, symbolizing hope and resilience in the face of chronic illness.
