Pennsylvania United States Senator John Fetterman has checked himself into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland to be treated to clinical depression.
A message from Fetterman’s office says that the Senator has had depression on and off throughout his life, he is become severe in “recent weeks.”
A statement from his office reads:
“On Monday, John was evaluated by Dr. Brian P. Monahan, the Attending Physician of the United States Congress. Yesterday, Dr. Monahan recommended inpatient care at Walter Reed. John agreed, and he is receiving treatment on a voluntary basis.
“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.”
Fetterman was admitted to The George Washington University Hospital earlier this month after feeling lightheaded.
No signs of a new stroke were detected.
