Since Jorge Valdivia retired from professional football he had several problems: he separated from his wife Daniela Aránguiz, he was related to an important Chilean deputy and had problems with the Trans-Andean Police after an identity check. And last Friday he was admitted to a psychiatric clinic after a strong agitation and severe symptoms of a panic attack.

The champion of the Copa America in 2015 with the Chilean National Team lives a bad moment and ended up collapsing due to his personal problems. Finally it was learned that he suffered a nervous decompensation that forced him to be transferred to the Catholic University, in his psychiatric unit, where he spent the whole weekend.
