Is my employer allowed to fire me for a mental a health leave?

I’m considering leaving work for while to attend a mental health program, that I hope helps me. I’ve been calling out more than I wish because of my depression and anxiety, I really think if I leave for a bit it would help this. So is my boss allowed to fire me if I leave? I have a feeling he wants to because of my callouts, but I’ve already been diagnosed with chronic depression and multiple other things so I was hoping that would count as one big “ doctors note”???? I’m scared to lose my job because of this. I genuinely like working there but I’m just going though a tough patch. I guess is it like firing a women because bc she’s pregnant, where is makes sense in a way but it’s an asshole move? Or am I just being self centered?
