For those who took FMLA due to workplace depression, did you just tell people you were taking leave for medical reasons? I know everyone says you don’t have to provide any reason, but let’s be real, your group will ask why.

Saying that you are taking leave for heath reasons is a complete answer. My view is that pushing for more information says more about the person asking than about you. I have seen people take both approaches; I chose to go with a generic statement because that is what I needed for my mental health. I hope you feel comfortable to do what feels right for you, based on where you are at right now and what you need to make your leave healing and supportive.

My group didn’t ask ever. Medical reasons is enough. If they pry further say “I appreciate the concern but my medical issues are a bit gross so I’d rather keep it at that” or any random excuse.

This is one of those situations where lying is 10000% ethical if you’re pushed at all.

At my second firm they knew because that’s where I broke down.😂😕 But it took the form of intermittent leave for therapist visits and a reduced work schedule for a few months, rather than a block of time. At a different form, they gave one secretary (for my former partner, I was already gone when this happened) 12 weeks when they found her curled in the fetal position under another partner’s desk. (It was the day of the partner retreat so none of them were in the office. What a blessing that day was!)

But yes, if you’ve been at your firm for more than a year and it’s big enough to be subject to FMLA, you notify them that you need leave for medical reasons. You’ll have to get your doctor out provider to fill out paperwork, so easier if you can get your PCP, or a PA or NP, to do it instead of your psych, so it’s not obvious what kind of care you’re getting. Though you might be surprised how many folks at firms are in psych care for depression and/or ADHD. Fully a third for depression alone.

What is the protocol with talking with recruiters? I'm not pre se looking to move right now but if something with more money and flexibility regarding location opens up then I'm not opposed.

Is it wrong to talk to them about possible opportunities?
