Do you need time off work?
Contrary to popular belief, you can take sick days, or even a mental health leave in Japan. This insurance covered sick leave can be issued on the same day of the consultation.
If you have these symptoms:
- Burnout
- Depressed/Anxious and struggle to go to work
- Constant fatigue, headaches, stomach issues, insomnia or oversleeping
- Difficulty to focus, memory issues, mental fog
- Declining performance at work, making more mistakes, avoiding tasks
It might be time to take time off work and rest.
For this, you will need a medical certificate (診断書). You may ask the doctor for this document during a consultation. Please note there will be a separate fee that is not covered by insurance.
At Roppongi Clinic, you can get a medical certificate on the same day of the consultation (when possible).
The consultation is covered by Japanese Health Insurance, and we can assist you in getting a sick leave subsidy (i.e. PAID mental leave benefit – 傷病手当 shoubyou teate).
Please come to our clinic and consult with our doctors for more information!
