The Facts:
After three months of treatment and therapy, psychological and neurological exams at Boston's McLean Hospital, the training ground for Harvard University medical students, Marshall believes he's finally at the root of
his off-field struggles. He has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, or BPD. "BPD is a well understood psychological disorder. It's not a form of misbehavior," said Mary Zanarini, a professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School, who treated Marshall this summer.

According to Sun-Sentinel staffer Omar Kelly, during Marshall's treatment at McLean, the mercurial wideout learned how to defuse the bomb inside of his head. Now with the tools and a new perspective he's returning to the real world, to the NFL. He has informed the Dolphins of his diagnosis and said he is revealing his story with the goal of creating more awareness of BPD and advocating for better treatment and medical coverage. "By no means am I all healed or fixed," Marshall said, "but it's like a light bulbs been turned on in my dark room. ..." Hey. It's a start.
