> What I really need to know is how does one go about getting time of work for depression?
> Also how does one get admitted to hospital in the UK?
> I don't know how much longer I can keep going to work feeling the way I do.You call emergency room and say you have suicidal thoughts and extreme anxiety. You have 100% guarantee you will be admitted immediately. If you are at hospital, you cannot be at work, that's abvious. You will get sick leave. It is for sure more than 3 months. Why don't you guys (you and Ed) try a private visit. Is this so expensive in the UK?
