U.S. Senator John Fetterman, D-Pa., has checked himself into Walter Reed Medical Center.
Fetterman, who survived a near-fatal stroke last year, acknowledged through his staff that he has become severely depressed as he adjusts to his new work-life balance.
Fetterman started receiving in-patient treatment at Walter Reed Wednesday night.
The New York Times reports:
“While John has experienced depression off and on throughout his life, it only became severe in recent weeks,” Adam Jentleson, his chief of staff, said in a statement. He said that after undergoing an evaluation on Monday by Dr. Brian P. Monahan, the attending physician in Congress, Mr. Fetterman followed the recommendation for inpatient care at Walter Reed.
“John agreed, and he is receiving treatment on a voluntary basis,” Mr. Jentleson said.
Mr. Fetterman, 53, was admitted to George Washington University Hospital last week after feeling unwell during a daylong Senate Democratic retreat. He spent two days in the stroke unit, where he underwent an M.R.I. and other tests that ruled out another stroke and remained free of any seizures, a spokesman said.
The decision to seek help at Walter Reed underscored the challenges, both physical and emotional, that Mr. Fetterman has been dealing with since entering the Senate last month, a transition that has been vastly more difficult because of the strains of his recovery.

And everything his opponent said about him was true. Who didn’t see THIS coming?
Now that Uncle Festerman is in the hospital he will serve as an excellent puppet figurehead for the clandestine Deep State buggers who wanted him elected.
He should have never been able to be in any government job depressed people really have a hard time not good for a government job, need stable as possible, Truthful, Honorable, people we must demand this look at the mess we are in because idiots are aloud to vote need to be 30-40 years old to vote, why biden his administration have not been removed is so wrong, we have laws that say he and his administration needs arrested prosecuted immediately Treasonous Traitor’s
I do not feel sorry for him, his disgusting politics aside, he knew that he had atrial fibrillation and had a stroke and was unable to work but his jill biden-type wife pushed him into running for the Senate. Remove him from office and replace this loser. Running Oz was a big mistake as well but maybe a better repub candidate, like Dave McCormick, who lost to Oz in the repub primary, can be found.
