Fetterman on Depression: ‘Treatment Works, Get Help, Never Harm Yourself’

‘I have a duty and the privilege to be talking about this to people’

RUSH EXCERPT:

FETTERMAN: “I dearly missed my family. People really need to understand that being a senator, being a Congress woman or man, you have to realize that it’s kind of like you’re a divorced. Seeing the people you love. 50% than what you would’ve before. My fight, depression, has always been a bipartisan kind of struggled. That’s been my message throughout all of this as well. I just hope anyone who reaches my message to understand that, treatment works, and gets help, and do not ever consider harming yourself. I think there is millions of Americans all across the country who suffer from, it and I run into people regularly, daily, thank you for talking about it. I have a duty and the privilege to be talking about this to people, and I’m always like to do it because it’s such an important message, and I was grateful and lucky to get the kind of treatment that pulled me out of the darkness. I would just hope that for everyone that’s facing.”
