In a statement released Monday afternoon , Caraveo said her struggle with depression became more severe in recent months, leading to her seeking care at Walter Reed in Washington, D.C.
“As a doctor, I always urge my patients to take care of their health first and receive the support that they need,” Caraveo said. “I am grateful for the time and attention their team has provided me with – the type of care every American deserves – while continuing the work for Colorado’s 8th district.”
