Taking time off from work to address physical ailments or disabilities happens often enough to (generally) avoid the burden of stigma. But when it comes to mental health leave, many people hesitate to use it.

Suicide is tragic and complicated loss that takes the lives of too many.
Suicide is dangerously high in this country. The annual U.S. suicide rate increased 24 percent between 1999 and 2014, from 10.5 to 13.0 suicides per 100,000 people, the highest rate recorded in 28 years. For every suicide, people are left behind trying to cope with traumatic loss. They include spouses, parents, children, siblings, friends and relatives. When the person is a celebrity or a known person in the media, as in the case of Robin Williams, Kate Spade or Anthony Bourdain the tragedy is shared by many more.
Social psychologist, Frank McAndrew reports that given the use of media, we see celebrities often and they become part of our life. We not only look toward them as models, they become personally important to us. Their death by suicide equates to tragic, untimely and inconceivable loss.
