In disclosing his condition, Fetterman has joined a group of political figures around the world who have done the same. High-profile figures in Britain, Canada and elsewhere have put their ambitions on hold in the interest of improving their mental well being.
These leaders are “humanizing” mental health issues and promoting acceptance, says Michelle Blanchard, a fellow at the University of Melbourne and special adviser to Australia’s National Mental Health Commission. “It shows that these issues can affect anyone, and it can give others permission to share their own experiences,” she says.
Nadia Whittome, a Labour lawmaker and the youngest member of Parliament when she was elected, announced on Twitter in May 2021 that she would be taking a leave of absence and acknowledged the stigma around her disclosure. “I feel it is important for me to be honest that it is mental ill-health I am suffering from, specifically post-traumatic stress disorder,”
Whittome, who had previously spoken about receiving death threats and hate mail on social media. “Through being open about my own mental health struggle, I hope that others will also feel able to talk about theirs.”

He should have focused on his well-being, but instead he prioritized his ambitions. So please don’t make his hospitalization some kind of honorable sacrifice. It’s actually a belated admission that he should have withdrawn from the race.
It’s so absurd to paint Fetterman as selfless. He had a very clear choice which was to not run for office. He chose the path which would reward his ambition.
Real hero!
All he wanted was the forever income stream. He never planned on serving.
The fact, all of these issues were present before the election. The people of Pennsylvania still voted for Fetterman . The old adage that voters get the leadership they deserve is true, the fact that Republican leadership gave the people little choice with their candidate.
He is unfit for the duties of the job you people told us he was fit for. You lied to us.
You’re pulling our leg, right?
He would not be having these problems had he not been forced into taking part in last Fall's election. His family and the Democrats ought to be ashamed of themselves.
He put himself into this position. Had it before he started running. Wouldn’t it have been best for him not to subject himself to the added stress needlessly? Why is this portrayed as being brave and a good thing? He could have made his life so much better by Just. Not. Running
The difference may be that he has not even been in office for a month. This should have been disclosed before the election
Remember Tom Eagleton?
Didn’t he know this before he ran for office?
They really take their chant 'vote blue no matter who' seriously. Any sane person could tell he was not well during the elections. They pushed through anyway. So, here we are. He also blew through mega money to get elected.
No sympathy here!
He suffered from a medical event that he wasn't allowed to time to process, adjust and recover. How many others have suffered massive strokes mere weeks from the primary? Stop the spin, and do some real reporting.
Nobody cares about the whoes of rich as politicians.
It must be depressing to be a politician for child mutilation/grooming, big Pharma poison, war, climate change fraud, environmental disaster coverup, racist abortion practices, etc. Being evil all the time wears on people.
So pathetic of you trying to normalize this depressed ogre.
Never should have ran for office. Simple.
The Democrats were warned this would happen, but needing a warm body in the Senate was the order of the day. If he falters, we’ll distract from from any attempt to point that out. Yup.
You refuse to blame his wife and the socialist party. He had zero business running.
Is he fit to serve? Seems like there are several politicians who should not be in office based on mental fitness.
If only there was a sign he wasn’t mentally or physically able to do his job… if there was only 1 journalist who could have seen this… DashaBurns I’m sure the mainstream media would have stood behind that journalist for doing honest work!
Yeah, he has a condition alright. I firmly believe if his name wasnt Fetterman hed try to spell it with one T.
Abraham Lincoln suffered from depression. This is not new nor does it make him weak.
Bull!
They wanted him to win so they could virtue signal, not so he could represent taxpayers
I'm just glad this potato doesn't fly airliners.
Did he get a full weeks worth of hours in Bet he got a nice pension already....
Lmao
Maybe these people shouldn't be making choices about our lives? I applaud getting help, but running a public office has to be heck of a stress. This further proves the DNC wants people in place to vote their way. They could careless about serving the public.
Another case of the twisties
He is a Fraud. The DNC's Favourite Vegetable.
Just like a good liberal rag already running cover 🙄stop lying
Oh please…this is a political ploy!
I remember a psychological profile investigation many years ago, comparing criminals with politicians. The profiles were very similar. Surprise?
But they were mentally and physically fit to serve.
Most of them could understand the spoken word. JohnFetterman cannot.
You guys are good with his strokey lies because of his wokey votes.
If this was a Repub, they’d be calling for a resignation and new elections. truth
Were they all democrats?
The Left is disgusting.
The DNC is killing this man.
We don’t want people with mental health problems to have access to guns, but we should be comfortable with putting them in positions of political power. fettermanstrong
Fake news
I am very concerned about Sen. Fetterman moving to the right after mental health restored.
Who George McGovern kicked his running mate to the curb
Umm. Ok. 🤡🤡🤡
Now How many Senators in America? PA elected this guy knowing full well he wasn’t right or ready. In just a short couple weeks in office he’s made 8 of 24 votes and twice been hospitalized. When will Gisele take over? He was used that was the plan all along!
Mr. Biden included.
Thousands deal with depression, go to work, and pay taxes - no problem. An elite politician living on taxpayers' money has depression but gets free treatment and it becomes news. Fetterman
Bonjour
“Mental health problems”
Sadly gow many actually seek help. And openly. Luckily he has congress Healthcare. But he will be attacked by Republicans for seeking help. As a corpsman I want every democratic and republican to support him. If those congress members that don't know what a corpsman is. Call me
I bet if you put the Washington post in the bottom of a bird cage, the birds wouldn't even shit on it.
does he still have a gun license?
The Washington Post wants you to think that all 'mental health problems' are equal in all ways, and that the EXTENT and SPECIFICS don't matter. They dumb it down on purpose. 'Hey PRAVDA, hold my beer.'
Trying to normalize this? Horrible journalism.
How many had recently developed and significant health problems, but ran for office anyway, then disclosed more health issues after a month?
It's nothing wrong, that wouldn't be human...if any person wouldn't think that way ..
Lies
