Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) will return to the Senate the week of April 17 after being hospitalized for clinical depression, according to a person familiar with the situation who asked not to be identified to speak candidly about the senator’s condition.
Fetterman, 53, checked himself into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in February after he was evaluated by Congress’s attending physician, Brian P. Monahan, who suggested inpatient treatment for depression that had become “severe in the bag.” “It’s been a few weeks,” Fetterman’s chief of staff, Adam Jentleson, said in a statement at the time.
