The ongoing trial in Buenos Aires regarding Diego Maradona's death has brought to light significant insights into his mental health. Psychologist Carlos Diaz testified that Maradona suffered from bipolar disorder and narcissistic personality disorder, requiring a treatment plan focused on complete abstinence from alcohol. Diaz recounted his first encounter with Maradona on October 26, 2020, noting the distressing sight of the football icon drinking wine, reminiscent of his own father's struggles with alcoholism. He emphasized that Maradona had reportedly gone 23 days without drugs before his death on November 25, 2020, following surgery for a brain clot.
