Can I ask for mental health days at work?
Yes, many companies now recognize the importance of mental health and offer mental health days.
Mental health is just as important as physical health, and many employers recognize the need for occasional mental health days. If you're feeling overwhelmed or stressed, asking for a day off to recharge can help you return to work more focused and productive. It’s important to communicate openly with your manager about your needs without feeling guilty. Many companies now have mental health policies in place to support employees in maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
