Jesse Jackson, Jr. Returns Home After Receiving Treatment For Depression
U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.‘s aide, Rick Bryant, confirmed that Jackson returned home to his wife and children after being treated for depression in a Mayo Clinic. “He’s at home in Washington convalescing with his wife and children,” Bryant said. “Let’s hope he returns to work on Monday. Congress goes back into session Monday following its summer break. The actual date that the Congressman was discharged is unknown. A spokesman for Mayo Clinic referred all questions regarding his discharge to Jackson’s office. Bryant said he’s not exactly sure when Jackson was discharged. The Congressman’s wife, Chicago Alderman Sandi Jackson, released a statement saying she and her husband were “thankful for the heartfelt prayers and kind thoughts from so many of our family.”

I am hoping and praying for a speedy recovery for this young man. He certainly is talented and he still has a bright future ahead of him. Mental illness is a serious disease, but it isn’t anything to be ashamed of. I hope that Congressman’s battle with the disease has been made public that people, especially African Americans, will stop stygmatizing those who are afflicted with it.
