Democrat John Fetterman has faced depression 'off and on throughout his life' his office said.
US Democratic Senator John Fetterman has checked himself into a hospital near Washington DC to receive treatment for severe depression, his office said.He was elected in November and suffered a debilitating stroke last year while campaigning for the seat.
The aide said the senator's decision to seek treatment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center came after consultation with the acting physician in Congress, Dr Brian Monahan."After examining John, the doctors at Walter Reed told us that John is getting the care he needs, and will soon be back to himself.""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," she tweeted.
"Millions of Americans, like John, struggle with depression each day," he continued, adding that he looks forward to his return to the Senate.
