But he received a second opinion from a doctor in New York who told him the cause of his problems and a dark spot on his brain scans was a dead parasite.
Mr Kennedy testified that the doctor had told him that the dark spot on the scans was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.
He also said in his 2012 deposition that he has suffered from mercury poisoning that has caused neurological issues.
I have cognitive problems, clearly, he said at the time. I have short-term memory loss, and I have longer-term memory loss that affects me.
RFK Jr, the son of late New York senator and attorney general Robert F Kennedy, told the Times in an interview that the poisoning was caused by eating too much fish.
I loved tuna fish sandwiches. I ate them all the time, he said.
The admission raises questions about RFK Jrs health at a time when the 70-year-old environmental lawyer and long-shot presidential hopeful has used his relative youth compared to his major-party rivals, President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump, to argue that he is healthier and fitter than both to run the country.
