I recently took 3 weeks of FMLA for mental health purposes. It was super easy. My psychiatrist basically said no work for 3 weeks wrote a "script" stating this I turned it into our Leave Department they sent me paperwork for both myself and my Dr to fill out a fax back. Seemed like quite a bit of running around to me when I really didn't even want to get out of bed but I was a supervisor and it held my position!!
