I'm new, so I hope I'm doing this right... My husband was diagnosed with "stress due to employment issues as well as personal issues, Depression, Anxiety & panic attacks" in Aug. 07 & his MD filled out & returned all the FMLA paperwork to the employer. Since then, he has had several visits with the MD & also with a shrink. FMLA papers state internittently, or less than full schedule "on as needed basis" "2-3 days a week for the next 6 months" and "follow up appts, medication, referral to therapy, rest at home". In the midst of an already severe depression, his father passed away in Sept., making the depression worse. He has called in each time he felt the need to miss work & told them he was taking an FMLA day. He has taken 5 days, which they have considered unexcused & recd 'points' which now put him in jeopary of loosing his job, which is causing more stress & more panick attacks! MD recently changed meds & he litterally fell asleep while eating lunch on his lunch break! HELP!
