Kean discloses depression treatment as reason for Washington absence

Republican Congressman Leonard Lance Kean has returned to the House floor after a four-month absence, revealing that he has been undergoing treatment for depression. Kean's disclosure highlights the challenges many public officials face with mental health and the stigma that can prevent them from seeking help. This move not only underscores the importance of mental health awareness but also serves as a powerful reminder of the need for support systems in Congress and beyond. Kean's openness could encourage others in similar situations to seek help without fear of judgment.
