In July, The ENQUIRER reported "doctors diagnosed Jesse Jr. with bipolar disorder," according to a source.
Now, Jackson, 47, has bowed out of Congress saying, "For 17 years I have given 100% of my time, energy, and life to public service. However, over the past several months, as my health has deteriorated, my ability to serve the constituents of my district has continued to diminish. Against the recommendations of my doctors, I had hoped and tried to return to Washington and continue working on the issues that matter most to the people of the Second District. I know now that will not be possible."
"The constituents of the Second District deserve a full-time legislator in Washington, something I cannot be for the foreseeable future," he wrote in his resignation letter.
