time off sick affect on reference/new job

[r1tey]

hi having been diagnosed with general anxiety disorder I have had to have a couple of months off sick and am now considering leaving as I feel returning to my current job will not help. I spoke to HR who advised they usually put on any reference's requested how much sick leave has been taken and I am worried about the affect this will have when I apply for new jobs.

I'm also wondering if its worth adding to my CV that my reason for leaving was "ill health" and that its now resolved (assuming I do get better)

any thoughts or advice would be great - thanks

PS my current job ironically is a mental health support worker hence why I wont return to it at the moment.

Thanks folks sounds like good advice and yes I'm definitely looking for something less taxing!!
