What to do when the going gets tough
There is nothing wrong with being a hard worker. However, nonstop pressure and responsibilities at work can lead to stress. When a person can’t find ways to relieve that stress, it can cause mental health problems. For this reason, more and more companies are recognizing the importance of something called “mental health leave.”
It’s common throughout the world for workers to take sick leave when they are physically ill. The concept of mental health leave is relatively new, but it is catching on . As more companies begin to value the happiness of their employees, more people are promoting the idea that everyone should be given time to focus on themselves and their mental health.

Many companies now make mental health leave part of sick leave. They hope to encourage their workers to maintain a healthy work-life balance.

當面臨困境的時候該做些什麼
做為一名認真的員工並沒有錯。然而，工作中不間斷的壓力及責 任可能會導致心理壓力。當一個人無法找到方法紓解那種壓力時，就 會造成心理疾病。出於這個原因，越來越多公司開始認知到所謂「心 理健康假」的重要性。
當員工生理上生病時，請病假在全世界是很常見的。心理健康假 相對來說是新概念，但也漸漸開始流行了。隨著越多公司開始重視員 工的開心指數，就越多人提倡每個人都應該要有時間注重自身及自己 的心理健康。
在新冠肺炎疫情期間，許多員工回報有高度焦慮。作為回應，有 些公司讓他們的員工放假，允許他們休息並從疫情期間工作所造成的 壓力中康復。許多公司現在將心理假變成病假的一部分。他們希望鼓 勵他們的員工維持一個健康的工作與生活平衡。
