She described seeking help after a near-death episode, crediting a therapist’s strict rule for her recovery.

Overview

  • She linked her consumption to trying to feel closer to a brother who had addiction problems and later died.
  • She sought psychiatric care and completed a year of therapy, after which she said she stopped using.
  • The actress highlighted her therapist’s boundary — “Si toma, no vengas” — as decisive in sustaining abstinence.
  • The disclosure came on El Trece’s Otro día perdido, where host Mario Pergolini framed addiction as a growing problem and emphasized that recovery is possible.
