Fit for duty

Democratic Sen. John Fetterman’s hospitalization for the treatment of clinical depression has raised questions about politicians being fit to serve their constituents.
"John, Gisele – Jill and I are thinking about your family today," wrote Mr. Biden. "Millions of people struggle with depression every day, often in private. Getting the care you need is brave and important. We're grateful to you for leading by example." Chad Pergram currently serves as a senior congressional correspondent for FOX News Channel (FNC).

President Biden wasn’t the only one who applauded Sen. John Fetterman, D-Penn., for seeking treatment at Walter Reed Medical Center for what was termed "severe" clinical depression. Other colleagues from both sides of the aisle commended Fetterman for doing the right thing and seeking help.
"It’s very important that he’s coming out with this so that we can actually use it as a teaching moment," said Fox contributor Dr. Marc Siegel. "His treating psychiatrist thinks (hospitalization) is necessary or beneficial."
