According to news sources, Senator John Fetterman was hospitalized for the second time in just over a week.
CNBC reported that Fetterman admitted himself to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Wednesday night for treatment of mental depression.
“While John has experienced depression off and on throughout his life, it only became severe in recent weeks,” according to a statement issued Thursday by Fetterman’s chief of staff, Adam Jentleson.

“On Monday, John was evaluated by Dr. Brian P. Monahan, the attending physician of the United States Congress,” according to Jentleson’s statement.

“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.”
