He complained about having no television or radio and said “if this continues, I think that by December I will not be well,” in regards to his limited family visitation.
During his incarceration El Chapo has had numerous consultations for high anxiety, depression and insomnia, according to the report.
El Chapo mentions in the report that he was given 13 pills a day during his stint at Almoloya de Juarez in Mexico and that he has to take medication just to go to the bathroom.
Defense attorneys said Guzman can no longer remember people, places and events. He has also complained about hallucinations and is feeling persecuted, claiming that the government is recording him in his cell, ABC News reported.
