Hi all..
I have been off work for a while
with poor mental health, which my work know about. Now to add to it I have been formally diagnosed with PTSD amongst other things.
Where do I go with this, as in do I tell my employer?

Are you looking to return to work, with some adjustments? If so, you need to tell your employer so they can assess what they can do to help. Do you have an occupational health service through work?

Thank you for your reply. I hope to return to work , yes, even though I am feeling really unwell still. Otherwise I am scared I could lose my job.

I am really worried about it.

You don't need to disclose any further than you have been off with mental health difficulties - you don't need to go into specifics unless you want to.

I am assuming your GP has signed you off - what have they written on the sick note?

Aah okay, thank you.
They've said anxiety. But it's a lot more sadly than that ☹️
