Considering taking a short term mental health leave. What are potential issues to look out for? Do I need to disclose my diagnosis? Will this be used against me re: performance? I understand mental health is a protected disability/illness in UK but want to know potential risks. Thanks!

I’d suggest raising your mental illness with HR prior to the short term leave, there could be concessions which means you won’t need to take your holiday leave.
