Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, still recovering from a stroke, has checked himself into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to seek treatment for clinical depression.
The Associated PressSen. John Fetterman leaves an intelligence briefing on the Capitol in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. Fetterman is in Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to seek treatment for clinical depression, his office says.Fetterman, who has struggled with the after-effects of a stroke he suffered last May, checked himself in on Wednesday night, it said.
"John agreed, and he is receiving treatment on a voluntary basis," Jentleson said. "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."Post-stroke depression is common, with one in three stroke patients suffering from it, and is treatable through anti-depressant medication and counselling, doctors say.
"This is a moment for us to tear down the stigma of depression and anxiety," said Kennedy, who retired in 2010 and has become a leading voice on mental illness. "Sen. Fetterman may do more for people just by admitting that he's getting help for depression than any bill he ends up sponsoring." He entered the Senate in January after winning the race for a vacant seat over Republican Mehmet Oz, the doctor best known for his television appearances as Dr. Oz.
