Hello melanson86, welcome to Psych Central.

If you had broken your leg or had a physical issue, I guess you would feel more ok with it. Your health is the most important thing, you need to take that time off so that you can recover and get better enough to be able to continue with the job. You tried going back too soon and you had to take time off again. I've been there and done that! Listen to your psychiatrist, it is best for you to take this time off.
