Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman on Wednesday checked himself into a Washington hospital "to receive treatment for clinical depression," his chief of staff said on Thursday.
"While John has experienced depression off and on throughout his life, it only became severe in recent weeks," Adam Jentleson said in a statement.
Jentleson said that Fetterman was evaluated on Monday by Congress' attending physician, Dr. Brian P. Monahan, who "recommended inpatient care" at Walter Reed hospital. "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," Jentleson said.
Fetterman, a Democrat, won his seat in the November midterms. He suffered a stroke during the campaign, which his doctors said was the result of irregular heart rhythm that led to a clot.
He recovered before the election and returned to the trail, albeit with limited appearances. After the stroke, he worked with a speech therapist and also had auditory processing issues that required the use of closed-captioning devices. "He has no work restrictions and can work full duty in public office," his doctor said, via his campaign, in October.

Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) gets to appoint someone, perhaps...
Fetterman was on a downtown sidewalk and accidentally caught a glimpse of himself in a large store window. Depression set in.
When Gavin Newsom does that he preens and loves himself with hugs around his own shoulders. Aides know it will be a twenty minute delay for his love fest.š
Iād be depressed too if I looked like him.
Queue up the old M*A*S*H theme (with lyrics).
This retard is an embarrassment. What is sad is, he was retarded before his heart attack, so now he is a retard with brain damage!
Then news will say the appointee worked for two Soros companies and the DNC.
so his wife will get the seat ala Mary Bono??
Making way for a senatorette ( mx festerman) perhaps? Never could have guessed eh?. But, digusting Dr Oz has a house in Joisy so.......
He is severely brain damaged and his handlers don’t want to admit they pushed a mentally unfit person through the rigged electoral process. The depression is just cover and a bid to garner sympathy.
‘... and will soon be back to himself “ as Uncle Fester.

“John is getting the care he needs, and will soon be back to himself...”
I expect Adam Jentleson, his chief of staff may soon be suffering depression over losing his job, which will likely happen when his boss resigns his seat.
Incompetent Half-Wit...
Yup
When Mel Carnahan died just weeks before the 2000 election, it was too late to change the ballot, and everyone knew the governor would appoint his widow.
In Pennsylvania, the voters were told Fetterman was not healthy enough to serve, but they didn't believe it.
Governor will soon appoint his ultra-fascist wife as senator. Was the plan all the time ... foolish Pa voters will get what they deserve.
This isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. Everybody who voted for Fetterman knew what would happen in short order after the election. In fact, it worked so well, I have to admire the way they did it. The blame should go to Trump and the rest of the Dr. Oz cheer leaders. They are the reason we lost the Senate.
Once I saw a hospital nutritionist about diet strategies (weight loss and to reduce gout). She brought out a plastic flexible realistic replica of body fat (like a translucent kids’ toy with tiny blood vessels and yellow and cream colored uneven fat globules).
She asked me to estimate the weight. I held it and said “10 pounds.” She said it was 5. Yipes.
So my extra body fat would be several (ahem) of these.
She said she didn’t try that experiment to visualize fat with really heavy patients because “some of them burst into tears for ten minutes and a few crumpled up on the floor sobbing and holding their knees.”
Wife: Oh, that bad, huh?
I’m depressed from looking AT him.
