Lawyer: Marzilli has Fairly Serious Mental Health Condition

Aide for Former Medford Rep Says Marzilli Suffers from Bipolar Disorder

State Senator Jim Marzilli’s lawyer, Terrence Kennedy, has announced to the media that his client is suffering from a “fairly serious mental health condition.”

According to YourArlington.com, Cindy Friedman, Marzilli’s chief aide, said the senator is being treated for bipolar disorder. Friedman declined to offer further details.

The 50-year-old state senator has been receiving treatment at McLean hospital for the past few weeks in Belmont following charges for sexual assault.

Marzilli, a state representative for Arlington and Medford for nearly two decades before being elected to the state senate last December, recently announced he will not be seeking re-election for his seat.
