Maybe this is a question for Managers/Partners. Who exactly do I contact or inform if I want to take some time off for reasons around mental health issues?
How much do I need to say if any at all?

Depends on firm. Which firm are you at?

Start with your counselor

Would also talk to your talent rep.

Speak to HR. Follow up with your engagement manager/practice lead.

I would do the opposite. Talk to your manager first, then bring in HR.

I used to work in HR.... and I hate HR 🙃

Talk to your manager first, or counsellor / rep from your op unit. They will know who to contact and how to get you the help you need.
