So now we have these 'return to work' forms where I have to state the "Precise nature of illness/injury" on the sick for. I had a panic attack at work and once I was fit to drive I went home for the afternoon. I am worried that if I put 'panic attack' or 'mental health problem' it could be stigmatizing and used against me. I feel that it is very personal and feel exposed and vulnerable stating what happened.
What can I put as a reason? Is 'panic attack' enough? I fear that the powers that be just won't understand that. If you've never experienced one, it's hard to convey how debilitating it is.
