The office of Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman says he's expected to return to the chamber soon after seeking inpatient treatment for clinical depression.
Aides said at the time that Fetterman had not been his usual self for weeks. He was withdrawn, showing disinterest in talking, eating and the usual banter with aides. Post-stroke depression is common and treatable, doctors say.
His public struggle is extraordinary in a building where few talk about their own mental health, but his colleagues have been supportive. Fetterman is receiving daily in-person briefings by chief of staff Adam Jentleson, Calvello said. The senator is reading the news and getting briefings, he said, while issuing statements through his office and sponsoring legislation. Aides are opening new regional offices in Pennsylvania.
In the meantime, Fetterman's aides and his wife, Gisele, have released photos of the senator smiling, being briefed or visiting with her and their three school-age children.
