@Popehat it’s really good leadership by example, too; treating mental health with the seriousness it merits rather than the “rub some dirt on it, walk it off” approach so many seem to advocate.

@Popehat This man rarely makes a wrong step; wishing him health.

@Popehat Depression following a stroke is very common. The stroke effects the production and pathways of neurotransmitter hormones in the brain, resulting in clinical depression in 1 out of every 3 stroke patients.

@Popehat I agree. It is hard to admit that you’re struggling under such scrutiny. This may have been exacerbated by the stroke. Wishing him a rapid return to good health!!

@Popehat that takes courage and he should be applauded

@Popehat good for him

@Popehat Agreed! It’s damned courageous and inspiring.

@Popehat I sure hope he can come back - he has such a bright future. This whole set of circumstances is just so unfortunate.

@Popehat It's generous, and it is leadership.

@Popehat The openness about this challenge will help others. Good for Senator Fetterman and I'm wishing him the best.

@Popehat Is anyone monitoring the birdshit site to see what kind of crap is being posted there about him? Because you know they're doing that with #ElonMusk's full permission...

@Popehat the GOP will, of course, run with this, trying to score points, despite the fact that he took a step that likely many of their members are unwilling to take.

@Popehat good to know that at least s/o is taking care of business- even though it‘s himself ❣️

@Popehat Very admirable.
