Gloria Camila Opens Up About Her Diagnosis and Childhood Memories. Gloria Camila has found herself at the center of public attention again after openly revealing her diagnosis. Her account of forgotten childhood moments and the reasons behind her departure from television sparked a wave of support and new questions.
Gloria Camila is once again at the center of attention in the Spanish media—this time due to a candid conversation about her own diagnosis. The daughter of José Ortega Cano did not hide the fact: it was past traumas and painful episodes from her childhood that caused her to forget many moments of her life. As Divinity notes, this personal experience led to her leaving television and seeking professional help.
A diagnosis that changed everything
Gloria Camila first spoke about her diagnosis back in April 2025. At that time, she admitted that she was facing dissociative disorder—a condition in which a person feels detached from their own emotions and even memories. According to Gloria herself, it was the 'abandonment trauma' she has carried since childhood that became the key factor. After that, she not only had to temporarily leave TV work but also began regular therapy, including psychiatric care.
Lost memories
Questions about how exactly her condition manifests have become one of the most discussed topics among Gloria Camila’s followers. In a recent Q&A on social media, she admitted that many episodes from her childhood and even recent past seem to have been wiped from her memory. This was especially evident during her participation in “Supervivientes,” when she was asked to reflect on the key moments of her life. Gloria suddenly realized she couldn’t recall entire fragments of her childhood, although she used to remember them. She emphasizes that this concerns not only complicated or traumatic events, but also the most ordinary, everyday details.
Therapy and Going Public
Gloria Camila admits that such memory lapses have always accompanied her, but only after starting therapy did she begin to understand their nature. According to her, it is childhood psychological trauma and emotional upheaval that led her brain to 'switch off' part of her memories. She notes that she often disregards details, easily forgets names and faces, and sometimes can’t even recall recent events. She calls this experience an integral part of her life, with which she is now learning to live openly and honestly.
Support and New Meanings
In recent years, Gloria Camila has spoken more and more openly about her mental health. Her confessions about the trauma of abandonment and the painful comments she has had to hear resonate with thousands of followers. On one episode of 'Supervivientes All Stars', she compared herself to 'a puppy picked up off the street', and in January 2026, she stated that she had decided to put her emotional well-being first. She acknowledges that fighting with her own condition takes courage, and that taking care of one’s mental health is not a luxury, but a necessity.
Interestingly, in recent times, topics of family relationships and personal experiences have been coming up more frequently for discussion among Spanish celebrities. For example, the graduation of Luis Figo's daughter recently became an occasion for touching family moments and media discussions— the details of this event have also sparked a wave of comments.
Gloria Camila's story is another reminder that behind the public image, there are often complex internal struggles. Her candor and willingness to address difficult subjects have made her one of the most talked-about figures in Spanish show business in recent years.
