Democratic U.S. Sen. John Fetterman plans to return to the Senate in the week of April 17 after more than a month of inpatient treatment for depression, Politico reported on Wednesday.
The news site cited sources with direct knowledge of his plan.
Fetterman's health history, including his recovery from a stroke, has been a source of concern, with some critics contending he may well be unfit to fulfill his duties as a newly elected senator.
Others have applauded him for prioritizing his mental health by seeking treatment, and for bringing such discussions to the forefront.
