Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) said in an interview that aired Sunday that he believed opening up to the public about his mental health struggles earlier this year would negatively impact his career.

In an interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker on “Meet the Press,” Fetterman opened up about his battle with clinical depression earlier this year and urged those facing mental health issues to seek help. He said that for the first couple of weeks while being treated for depression at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, he felt scared about sharing his experiences publicly.

    At this point in time, the only conclusion I can draw is that most of the people on Lemmy have the political maturity of a 13 year old.

      Anyone who still shows signs of having a conscience must be younger than me and therefore wrong.

        Anyone who disagrees with me has no conscience and is therefore wrong

      It’s very obvious after spending like 10 min on Lemmy. No one in the real world listens to these bullshit takes.
