I understand that your advice is based on the HR viewpoint. It isn’t really helpful to tell someone with Major Depressive Disorder to “get on with their life” isn’t particularly useful. If we could “get on with our lives” we wouldn’t be googling how to deal with depression/anxiety and work.

I agree with your advice about talking to HR or talking to your boss. If you aren’t comfortable with those two things, I recommend talking to your doctor or counselor about how to best go about it. Many mental health professionals are aware of the laws in their area with regard to mental health issues.

Lastly, for those experiencing depression while reading this post, I want to say that you are not alone.
