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.
做为一名认真的员工并没有错。然而，工作中不间断的压力及责任可能会导致心理压力。当一个人无法找到方法纾解那种压力时，就会造成心理疾病。出于这个原因，越来越多公司开始认知到所谓「心理健康假」的重要性。当员工生理上生病时，请病假在全世界是很常见的。心理健康假相对来说是新概念，但也渐渐开始流行了。
