Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman's office said he is expected to return soon to the chamber, but there's still no timeline five weeks after he sought inpatient treatment for clinical depression.
Aides said at the time that Fetterman had not been his usual self for weeks. He was withdrawn, showing a disinterest in talking, eating and the usual banter with aides. Post-stroke depression is common and treatable, doctors say.
“We want to give him the space to recuperate," Schumer said at a Wednesday news conference. "He needs it, it’s fair, it’s right. There are other people in the Senate who have taken their time to recuperate but I’m confident he’s going to come back and be an outstanding and fine senator.”“He'll be back soon, at least over a week, but soon,” spokesperson Joe Calvello said Thursday.
After Fetterman checked in to Walter Reed, his office said he had experienced depression “off and on throughout his life,” but it had only become severe in recent weeks. The Capitol physician, Dr. Brian P. Monahan, recommended Fetterman's hospitalization after conducting an evaluation, his office said then.
