Martina Colombari Details Son Achille’s Crisis and Recovery in Verissimo Interview

She credits tailored ADHD support for her 21-year-old’s recent progress.

Overview

  • On the Canale 5 program, Colombari recounted years marked by substance use, therapeutic hospitalizations, pharmacological treatments, and at least one compulsory psychiatric intervention (TSO).
  • She said Achille served more than a year in prison for drug offenses and that he attempted suicide there by drinking methadone.
  • Colombari said her son received an ADHD diagnosis only recently and that the late identification made earlier challenges harder to manage.
  • A video message stated Achille is currently in Australia and described a better family relationship after his parents completed a course for families of people with ADHD, which Colombari likened to having an instruction manual.
  • Colombari emphasized that Achille has now found greater balance and said the ordeal brought her and Alessandro Costacurta closer, adding that she is proud to be his mother.
