The distinguished guests follow one another on the set of the show “PAF” on C8. After receiving Estelle Denis or even Jean-Luc Lemoine, Pascale de la Tour du Pin welcomed Sylvain Augier this Thursday, September 14, 2023. Known for having presented the adventure game The Treasure Map from 1990 to 2005, the 68-year-old former host who retired from media life a few years ago made a rare appearance on the channel and did not fail to confide in his worrying state of health.
Sylvain Augier has in fact returned to his diagnosis of bipolarity which occurred several decades ago. “In Paris, suddenly, after a live radio broadcast, I am struck by one violent and suicidal depression. I told myself I wasn’t going to make it” he remembered. “The psychiatrist I called told me: ‘It’s a type 1 bipolar illness, It can’t be cured, but it can be treated.'”
From the age of 35, Sylvain Augier had to begin heavy treatment which lasted for life. The great danger of bipolar illness is when you are in suicidal depression and that we only think of one thing is to disappear.” he declared, at the same time mentioning his dark thoughts and a suicide attempt. We also recall that in addition to his bipolar disorders and his depression, the host suffered from an addiction to morphine following a terrible airplane accident during which his foot was “almost torn off”. To avoid being amputated, Sylvain Augier was then forced to stay for a year and a half in the hospital “stuffed with morphine” as Thierry Ardisson explained in November 2021 in the columns of Point.
Sylvain Augier transformed: viewers in shockDuring his visit to the PAF set, Sylvain Augier did not fail to praise Cyril Féraud who succeeded him in presenting the show “La Carte aux Trésors”. Viewers reacted strongly on social networks to his drastic physical transformation. “He’s really not in very good shape. It is very courageous of Sylvain Augier to have come to talk about his illness”, “I am uncomfortable Sylvain Augier not being in good shape”, “Seeing Sylvain Augier again, in this state, It’s more than unfortunate. But he’s still there.” can we read for example.
