McKinsey & Company I have had enough and have been thinking of taking a mental health leave. Would someone know how many weeks can I take and will it be unpaid? Alternatively, can I use short term disability (STD)
I will use this time to think about whether I want to come back to the firm or declare search? Will this mental health leave/ STD be reduced from my search time?
Would really appreciate some input here - help a girl!

I can only comment on STD which is generally paid. I think depends on the region but you can get up to 6 months I believe. Won’t reduce search time

Thanks so much. I believe that I’d require a doctor’s note for the same?

In general, your first step would be to get your doctor to write the note. That supports the type of leave and determines the onitial length of it. It would probably be sick leave until you run out , then STD.

In addition, the doctor will give a certain number of weeks (4 , 6) for your leave and when that time is over, will assess you and extend it as needed. In some cases (employer dependent) you could use a psychologist to write the note.
