Psychologist Testifies Maradona Had Bipolar and Narcissistic Disorders in Death Trial

At the trial investigating Diego Maradona's death, psychologist Carlos Diaz testified that the football legend suffered from bipolar disorder and narcissistic personality disorder, requiring strict abstinence from alcohol. Diaz, one of seven medical professionals charged with criminal responsibility, said Maradona was committed to sobriety and had been drug-free for 23 days before his death. The trial examines whether the medical team’s care contributed to the 2020 death following brain surgery.
