Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman opens up about his struggles with depression, a battle he says has followed him since the early days of his life.

The 48-year-old senator from Pennsylvania revealed that he had been grappling with depression for most of his adult life. He described his experience as a kind of "downward spiral" where every small setback turned into a major crisis.

Fetterman, who won a tight election last November to become the state's first African American senator, spoke candidly about how he has sought treatment for depression and anxiety over the years.

In an interview with CBS News, Fetterman expressed his gratitude for having found solace in therapy. The Pennsylvania senator emphasized that overcoming depression is not just about mental health, but also about breaking down stigmas surrounding mental illness.
 
🤯 Depression is like a super dark cloud over your life and it can be SO hard to shake off 🌫️. I'm so proud of Sen Fetterman for speaking out about his struggles with depression 💪. It's amazing how much progress we've made in acknowledging mental health issues, but there's still so much work to be done 🤝. Breaking down stigmas around mental illness is key, and I think it's awesome that Sen Fetterman is using his platform to help change the conversation 💬 #MentalHealthMatters #BreakTheStigma #DepressionAwareness
 
just when you think politicians are above the struggles of everyday people ... i mean it's cool that john fetterman is speaking out about his depression and anxiety 🤝. but at the same time, it's weird that he only starts talking about this now after becoming a senator... like, what was going on in between? also, therapy can be super helpful, but let's not forget to talk about the systemic issues that contribute to mental health problems in the first place 💡.

just read this about john fetterman and it made me think how important it is to talk openly about mental health struggles 🤗. i mean, we all know someone who's struggled or is struggling, but sometimes we just don't wanna share because of that stigma thing...
