Not sure if everyone is aware of this. After you work for a year somewhere or 1250 hours per year (part time people dont qualify) you can apply for FMLA leave. Then an employer cant fire you for time off. I have been on intermitten FMLA leave which means I take time off as needed for a serious medical problem. There is a form a dr has to fill out. Basically if it is something that isnt going away, and requires so many visits per years and medication you are eligible. I have taken FMLA leave for my other conditions not for my mental health issues. On the forms they do have to state what the problem though..
