Hello.

If your mental condition qualifies as disability under ADA or FEHA (fair employment and housing act), which it likely is, it is very important that you request reasonable accommodations in writing from your employer. Because additional medical leave beyond FMLA is one form of accommodations that you may be entitled to, you should request this as soon as possible. This right is in addition to any FMLA leave you may have exhausted.

Thank you.
