Hidalgo checked herself into an inpatient facility to be treated for clinical depression back in August.
The county judge has been open with the community about seeking in-patient mental health treatment for depression.
"After my time in a fantastic inpatient facility, I am feeling a lot better. I am looking forward to being discharged this Saturday, September 16, 2023, starting outpatient care, and re-acclimatizing to life outside a mental health facility. My initial treatment plan had me returning to my regular schedule in September, but my discharge date was moved back, which moves back the re-acclimatization period.
"I am grateful for your continued support. I look forward to sharing more about my experience, and most of all, I am eager to return to the community and the job that I love." At the time of the announcement, Ellis wouldn't say exactly where Hidalgo was being treated, due to privacy concerns, but he said he believed she would be gone for about two weeks. He said it was important for her to get treatment to confront the issue swiftly.After Hidalgo announced she would be returning to work next month, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner released the following statement in support of her getting the help she needs.
