Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman voluntarily checked himself into a hospital this week to receive treatment for clinical depression.
Fetterman's decision to focus on his mental health at this time was explained on Thursday via a statement from Chief of Staff Adam Jentleson in which he said, "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."
