Fetterman's treatment could take more than a month: aide
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – An aide of Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman told "The Wall Street Journal" the senator's treatment for clinical depression could range from weeks to more than a month.
Fetterman is currently undergoing treatment for clinical depression at Walter Reed Medical Center.
President Joe Biden is offering his support for the senator.
On Twitter, the president says millions of people struggle daily with depression and that Fetterman getting the care he needs is brave and important.
Biden also says he's grateful to Fetterman for leading by example.
Fetterman had previously suffered a stroke and had a prior history of depression.
In early February, Fetterman was discharged from George Washington University Hospital after he reported he was feeling lightheaded.
Fetterman suffered a near-fatal stroke just days before the Pennsylvania Democratic primary.
