John Fetterman’s chief of staff, Adam Jentleson, said in a press release that the Democratic senator from Pennsylvania “registered at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to receive treatment for clinical depression.”
Regarding Jentleson, the situation Ferrerman is going through at the moment is high “although John has suffered depression intermittently throughout his life, these have worsened in recent weeks.”
John Fetterman, who was elected to the Senate for the first time in November after suffering a stroke on the campaign trail, received medical care from Dr. Brian P. Monahan, an Assistant Physician to the United States Congress.
“Dr. Monahan recommended hospital care at Walter Reed. John agreed and is receiving treatment on a voluntary basis., indicates the statement. “After examining John, the doctors at Walter Reed told us that he is receiving the care he needs and that he will soon be the same again.”
John Fetterman’s wife, Gisele Barrero Fettermansaid through her Twitter account that she was proud of her husband for “asking for help and receiving the attention he needs.”
Barrero Fetterman asked for privacy during this “difficult time for our family” and she called on those who, like her, live or coexist with people who suffer from depression “take care of yourselves. Keep your loved ones close, you are not alone.”
John Fetterman’s admission to the hospital comes after being hospitalized the previous week as a result of a series of dizziness. At that time, his office explained that the medical team that treated him determined that the senator had not suffered an additional stroke.
