John Fetterman Gives CBS First Interview After Inpatient Treatment For Depression

John Fetterman has spoken publicly for the first time about his inpatient treatment for depression, giving an interview to Jane Pauley of CBS Sunday Morning.
Fetterman was discharged today, according to his representative, Joe Calvello, after spending six weeks at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center while dealing with clinical depression.
“I had stopped leaving my bed,” the freshman Senator from Pennsylvania tells Pauley of his downward spiral in a clip posted online. “I’d stopped eating, dropping weight. I’d stopped engaging in some of the most things that I loved in life.”
Fetterman says he was aware of the paradox, given his political success.
“It’s like: You just won the biggest race in the country, and the whole thing about depression is that, objectively you may have won, but depression can absolutely convince you that you actually lost. And that’s exactly what happened. And that was the start of a downward spiral.”

It’s sad that Republican hate can cause this much damage to a selfless civil servant like this

You know you didn't actually win it. That's part of the problem you face

I’m sorry but if your depression is so bad that you have to have inpatient hospitalization for weeks and weeks (which I’ve never heard of for depression and seems absurd but whatever) then perhaps you need to step down and let someone more capable pick up your spot. The people of PA deserve to have a functional person in office

Gosh, this calls for a three book deal, at least.

How does such an intelligent and handsome man become depressed? Quite a medical mystery.

The people that voted for this man should be ashamed knowing he isn’t capable physically of doing the job.

That’s because he knows he actually lost if it wasn’t for election frickery.

Look at what democrats are willing to do to these "candidates" to win. Throwing shoeless Hillary into the back of a van, forcing Joe Biden to climb stairs and ride a bike when he can barely do more than shuffle, dragging this ape Fetterman off his deathbed to gain ground in Pennsylvania. These people are ruthless with the top people, but we're all supposed to believe they deeply care about blacks and trans

I guess getting the job of your dreams and then finding out there is no way you can do that job would be depressing.
