Sen. John Fetterman checks himself into hospital for clinical depression treatment
[NYPOST] Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) is back in a DC-area hospital, this time to get treatment for clinical depression, his office announced Thursday. " While John has experienced depression off and on throughout his life, it only became severe in recent weeks," Fetterman chief of staff Adam Jentleson wrote on Twitter, adding that Capitol attending physician Brian Monahan examined Fetterman on Monday and "recommended inpatient care" on Wednesday. "After examining John, the doctors at Walter Reed [National Military Medical Center] told us that John is getting the care he needs, and will soon be back to himself," Jentleson concluded. Fetterman’s wife, Gisele, posted a separate tweet stating: "After what he’s been through in the past year, there’s probably no one who wanted to talk about his own health less than John. I’m so proud of him for asking for help and getting the care he needs." Fetterman, 53, was taken to George Washington University Hospital on Feb. 8 after feeling lightheaded during a Democratic Party retreat. He was released two days later and was back in the Senate on Monday.
