i would guess this is generally impossible in america. maybe a long shot would be to go to a doctor -- psychiatrist -- or ohter MD and get a recommendation to a psych -- and then from there try to see what they know about prescribing "two weeks bedrest" or similar. that would presumably not be enough, but could be two weeks to formulate a plan. wonder if your boss would be open to giving you a part-time gig. the 4-day work week is raging -- presumably at least american companies would love to dump you off their insurance, which they would be able to do if you want part time -- anything less than 30 hours a week. i suspect most managers would just say, effectively, "get your shit together or you're gonna be in trouble" -- i.e. we're going to pip you then fire you and put you through hell and humiliation while doing it.
