Depression FMLA??

Hi,

I am currently experiencing a serious bout of depression. Going on for a few months now. I’m due to see my primary care doctor because I’m not sure who else to see for this issue.

Was wondering if anyone has taken FMLA due to depression & anxiety?? How did you express this want to your doctor?

I’m honestly worried that they won’t believe me because I mask my symptoms well. I don’t usually open up to anyone so that is another issue.

Love my job but it is one of my major stressors. Just need a little time away, but fear I might I have to quit if FMLA is not an option.
