On June 10th, Jesse Jackson Jr. disappeared from the public scene. Initially, it was reported that he was suffering from exhaustion. Last week, NBC said they found him at an Arizona rehab facility; being treated for alcoholism. But, this morning, the Jackson camp said "no" to NBC's claim and said that he's being treated for a "mood" disorder. But, understand, a mood disorder is an umbrella term for a wide range of mental illnesses; some of which are not necessarily treatable with simple therapies.
Whether or not he's an alcoholic or he has a "mood" disorder, he is a U.S. Representative and the people he represents need to know what going on He cannot be invisible. For over a month, now, he has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a member of the House of Representatives. And, the fact that his people are being so secretive, just fuels the speculation that Jackson has something seriously wrong with him.
