I did. Was out full time for a few months while I sought treatment and focused on self-care, then returned part time for a couple of weeks to ease back into it. Any decent therapist will do the paperwork for LTD. Take care of yourself!

Any advice for making a person who recently came back from a period of leave feel comfortable? I’m concerned for the person bc they recently came back and busy season is right around the corner. Would really appreciate any insight. TIA

Good for you for asking this question and being proactive about re-integrating them to the team. People like you are the reason mental health is (slowly) losing its stigma.

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide
