PHILADELPHIA — Sen. John Fetterman was released from the hospital Friday and returned to his home just outside Pittsburgh, his office announced.
The Pennsylvania Democrat was hospitalized for major depression at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in mid-February. He was released after six weeks of treatment, with his medical team finding his depression is now in remission, according to a news release from his Senate office.
“I am so happy to be home. I’m excited to be the father and husband I want to be, and the senator Pennsylvania deserves,” Fetterman said in a statement. “I will have more to say about this soon, but for now I want everyone to know that depression is treatable, and treatment works.”
