Maradona trial: psychologist says he had bipolar disorder, narcissistic traits

Diego Maradona was bipolar and had a narcissistic personality disorder, his psychologist said Thursday at a trial over the death of Argentina's football legend, AFP reported. 

"There is a clinical picture here: an addiction, a bipolar disorder and a personality disorder. These are three chronic, lifelong conditions," psychologist Carlos Diaz said at the trial of Maradona's medical team, accused of negligence in his final days in 2020 at age 60.

Although the star's addictions to substances like cocaine and alcohol were well known, Thursday's diagnoses had never been disclosed publicly.
