Senator John Fetterman to Return to Senate After Treatment for Clinical Depression
(MENAFN) Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman is expected to return to the Senate the week of April 17, following the Senate's two-week recess in early April, according to a source close to him. Fetterman has been undergoing treatment for clinical depression at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland since mid-February, where he checked himself in for inpatient care at the recommendation of the attending physician of the U.S. Congress.
Fetterman's chief of staff had announced in early March that the Senator would be back "soon," and that he was "well on his way to recovery." Fetterman's return to the Senate will come after a difficult year for the Senator, who was sidelined for two months during the 2022 campaign after suffering a stroke and undergoing surgery to implant a pacemaker.
Before being admitted for inpatient care for clinical depression, Fetterman was hospitalized after feeling light-headed while at a Senate Democratic retreat in Washington. He was discharged two days later after tests ruled out a new stroke, and he showed no evidence of seizures, according to his office.
Fetterman's return to the Senate will be a welcome relief for his constituents and colleagues, who have been concerned for his health and well-being. The Senator has been an advocate for mental health awareness and has been open about his own struggles with depression. His return to the Senate will also be an important step in the ongoing efforts to address mental health issues among politicians and public figures.
