Fetterman’s openness has led to praise from mental health advocates, fellow members of Congress, and President Joe Biden.
Senator John Fetterman’s candid approach to his struggles with mental health is unusual on Capitol Hill, where issues with members’ health are frequently kept hidden from the public.
And in 2007, then-Congressman Patrick Kennedy opened up on Larry King live about his struggles with mental health. Since departing Congress, he founded the Kennedy Forum, which he describes as a think tank focused on mental health and addiction policy. Fetterman suffered a stroke during his Senate campaign last year. His office said he has experienced depression on and off throughout his life but it became more severe recently.
