Fetterman Details Depression Diagnosis

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) explained the “downward spiral” that led to him seeking help for his depression in February, CBS News reports.

Said Fetterman: “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.”

He added: “I will be going home. It will be the first time ever to be in remission with my depression. And I can’t wait to [see] what it really feels like, to take it all in, and to start making up any lost time.”
