I'm of the mind that don't take the time off without a treatment plan to work on the issues while you are away from work. Otherwise (I speak from experience) you will kind of flounder for a bit and coming back to work is harder.
At one point I took a 30 day medical leave to get a break from work and reset myself. I eventually then went on SSDI, but I didn't use my 30 day medical leave too wisely. I tried to have a treatment plan, but I wish I had actually gone to a facility or done a PHP or IOP.

Good point. My daughter took almost 3 months medical leave when she lost her husband in a tragic accident unexpectedly. She was in no shape to work. Well originally doctor gave her few weeks but then extended it several times because of her condition. She did intense bereveament/grief counseling (it was very good and made a huge difference) while gone and was ready to be back to work. I know it’s a different situation but in a way it’s similar. Taking time off work in order to get yourself in a better mental shape is a good idea.
