Today, Javier Martín describes mania as «a world of different, extrasensory perceptions» and depression as a phase full of anguish, pain and suffering «where everything is dark and black.»
However, at that time, neither he nor those close to him had much information on the subject: «We think a lot about the person who suffers from a mental disorder, but not about his family and friends, «They also suffer a lot and often feel completely lost because they don't know how to treat you.»
The actor has recounted how her husband, in an attempt to help her, tried to find out more and got fully involved in the search for stories of people who had gone through the same thing. He also remembers that he couldn't find them: «There are no role models to look up to and learn from.»
