Yes, I use my sick days for mental health days when needed.
If you need to schedule the ahead of time I’d just say you have some health appointments that’ll take most of the day and schedule off in advance ahead of time that way.
I would save them for sick. I also think if you max them out you could be seen as unreliable and sickly.
Use the days. Your job is far less important than your health. Places will exploit you for being human. Absolutely sickening how we “punish” people for wanting to use days that are given to them. Genuinely sick or just wanting to lay around. None of the company’s business.
My current company encourages using sick time for appointments that can't be scheduled outside of work hours. I haven't taken a mental health day in a while, but I've had no issues scheduling sick time ahead and my boss hasn't pushed me to explain requests.
Yes use your sick days however you like imo they‘re a form of compensation & accounted for in your salary so doesn’t make sense to waste them. A mental health day is a perfectly valid reason to use one.
