I'm very happy to be writing to you from home in Braddock after seeking care at Walter Reed Medical Center.
Hi Faith,
I'm very happy to be writing to you from home in Braddock after seeking care at Walter Reed Medical Center. I'm excited to be the father and husband I want to be, and the senator Pennsylvania deserves. Pennsylvanians have always had my back, and I will always have theirs.
Clinical depression is no joke. After we won our race in November, my symptoms began to get worse. The whole thing about depression is that, objectively you may have won, but depression can absolutely convince you that you actually lost. That's exactly what happened — and that was the start of a downward spiral.
Earlier this week I sat down to share my story with CBS Sunday Morning to let others know that depression is treatable, that treatment works, and that we all have to take care of ourselves. You can watch that interview in full here.
The care that the experts at Walter Reed provided changed my life. This isn't about politics — right now there are people who are suffering with depression in red counties and blue counties. If you need help, please get help.
My staff told me that the #1 topic of calls to our Senate office every day has been well wishes, and that means the world to me. Thank you for your support.
With gratitude,
❤️ John
John Fetterman
U.S. Senator, Pennsylvania
