Fetterman dismisses concerns about his mental health after New York magazine story [View all]

After an explosive New York magazine article documenting concerns about his mental health from former and current staffers, Sen. John Fetterman on Tuesday rebuffed the reporting and denied there are concerns about his health.
“It’s a one-source story, with a couple anonymous sources, hit piece from a very left publication,” Fetterman told NBC News. The Pennsylvania Democrat, who has cultivated an eccentric obstinance on the Hill, added, “There’s really nothing more to say about it.”
The article, published Friday, includes quotes and details from his former chief of staff, Adam Jentleson, as well as other former and current staffers who were granted anonymity. They voiced concerns about Fetterman’s behavior and wondered whether the senator, who has publicly struggled with depression, was taking his medication.
Fetterman sought inpatient treatment for clinical depression in early 2023, after his mental health issues intensified following a stroke on the campaign trail the year before. He told NBC News in late 2023 that he had feared seeking treatment would be the end of his political career, but since being discharged, he was “living his best life.”
