So these past months, I have been slightly depressed and kept taking a day off every week or so from work.
I have also visited a mental health clinic and the doctor gave me a “shindansho”, basically a letter detailing my diagnosis and meds.
While writing the letter, the doctor asked if I would like to take a month of absence, but feeling like I could pull through I said not really and told him I’ll leave it up to him to decide. So he didn’t add that part.
Today I sent that letter to my boss to explain the frequent days off and they requested me to take a leave of absence. They told me I could take up to three months off. Essentially gave me a template to have the doctor write it that way.
So my question is what am I supposed to do in this situation?
Has anybody been in a similar situation?
