Yes. Stress and burnout are valid reasons for a medical certificate. Our doctors can provide certificates for stress leave when appropriate.
Stress is a response to external demands. Anxiety is excessive worry that persists. They often overlap and can be treated similarly.
It depends on your situation. Doctors assess based on your needs. Initial certificates are often 1-3 days; longer periods may need follow-up.
Medical certificates typically don't specify the diagnosis. They state you're unfit for work. Your employer doesn't need to know the reason.
