I am in my 40s, and have recently been diagnosed with ADHD symptoms and also depression. I got to a point where I am pretty much unable to work at all and my doctor recommended me to go on a short term medical leave . I am wondering if anybody has been approved for leave or it’s very hard ?
I have been working at my company for 11 years now ( large pharma )
Also, anybody was able to switch roles and has any advice with wether to disclose medical state to hr or not . ( medical leave is approved by outside company contractor , not our hr )
thank you

There is something called FMLA- family and medical leave act- especially if your dotor is recommending you take some time, you should have no problem. Your doctor has to give you the papers to give to your employer- or HR has the papers and your doc has to sign off on it.
