Daily News | Fetterman opens up about depression in first interview since his hospitalization
where he spent six weeks undergoing treatment for depression.
Pauley also spoke to David Williamson, the neuropsychiatry chief and medical director at Walter Reed who oversaw Fetterman’s care. Williamson has previously said in a release distributed by Fetterman’s staff that Fetterman’s depression was treated with medication. Williamson told Pauley “how fast you think and how clearly you think is very substantially degraded when patients get depressed.”Fetterman recalled a “robotic” phase of going through the motions of life, which included feeling detached at his inauguration and at a Democratic retreat when colleagues asked him why he wasn’t eating. He choked up talking about his inability to get out of bed even when his son tried to cheer him up, worried about him.
“As it was described to me you were “agnostic” about the question of living or not at that time,” Pauley said.Gisele Fetterman sat beside her husband for part of the interview, holding his hand. She told Pauley from the outside looking in his situation might be hard to understand.

John Fetterman has left Walter Reed National Military Medical Center after six weeks of inpatient treatment for clinical depression, with plans to return to the Senate in mid-April. In a statement, Fetterman’s office said Friday that he's back home in Pennsylvania, with his depression “in remission.” It says his depression was treated with medication and he's wearing hearing aids for hearing loss. Fetterman checked into Walter Reed after weeks of what aides described as Fetterman being withdrawn and uninterested in eating or talking.
