Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) will likely remain in inpatient care for “a few weeks” following his hospitalization for clinical depression, according to a senior aide.
The freshman senator, who is continuing to recover from a debilitating stroke in May, checked himself into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Wednesday for treatment. His bout of depression surprised staff and the senator himself, according to NBC News.

Fetterman has continued auditory processing problems from the stroke, which the aide said has obscured what the senator is going through.

It’s difficult to tell if he’s “not hearing you, or is he sort of crippled by his depression and social anxiety,” the aide told NBC.
This is the second time Fetterman has been hospitalized since he assumed office at the beginning of January. He was admitted earlier this month for tests after feeling light-headed. Doctors ruled out another stroke and seizures.
