John Fetterman Had to Say<\/h3>\n<p>During a recent interview with MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, Sen. John Fetterman (D., Pa.) was asked whether he draws inspiration from historical leaders who battled depression. Scarborough specifically mentioned Lincoln and Churchill, who both struggled with depression but still managed to change the world.<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman&#8217;s response was a simple &#8220;yeah,&#8221; but he went on to explain that he believes there is a &#8220;nobility&#8221; to suffering. &#8220;It toughens you up or whatever,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Fetterman was reading Scarborough&#8217;s questions from a screen throughout the interview. This comes after the senator was hospitalized for six weeks for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/msnbc-to-fetterman-do-you-get-inspiration-from-people-like-lincoln-who-fought-depression-and-changed-the-world\/\" title=\"MSNBC asks Fetterman if Lincoln inspires him, as he fought depression and changed the world.\">severe depression earlier<\/a> this year. He is still struggling with the effects of a stroke he suffered during last year&#8217;s Senate campaign, which have contributed to his depression.<\/p>\n<h3>The Media&#8217;s Take on Fetterman&#8217;s Struggles<\/h3>\n<p>Despite his health struggles, the media have largely been deferential to Fetterman and have even framed his challenges as a strength. When CBS asked him about his &#8220;aspirations&#8221; beyond the Senate after his release from the hospital last month, it was clear that Fetterman&#8217;s story has resonated with many.<\/p>\n<h3>What We Can Learn from Fetterman&#8217;s Story<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Depression is a real and serious illness that can affect anyone, regardless of their position or status.<\/li>\n<li>Even in the face of adversity, it&#8217;s possible to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/faucis-book-scrubbed-from-internet-publisher-claims-it-was-prematurely-posted-for-pre-sale\/\" title=\"Fauci\u2019s Book Scrubbed From Internet, Publisher Claims It Was \u2018Prematurely Posted For Pre-Sale\u2019\">find inspiration<\/a> and strength from historical figures who have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/these-eight-celebrities-suffered-from-aphasia\/\" title=\"These Eight Celebrities Suffered From Aphasia\">overcome similar struggles<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>By sharing his story, Fetterman is helping to break down the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/get-well-wishes-pour-in-for-casey-desantis-following-cancer-diagnosis\/\" title=\"Get-Well Wishes Pour In For Casey DeSantis Following Cancer Diagnosis\">stigma surrounding mental health<\/a> and encouraging others to seek help when they need it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Overall, Fetterman&#8217;s story is a reminder that we all have the power to overcome our challenges and make a positive impact on the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MSNBC host Joe Scarborough asked Sen.
