Got My Shift Covered, Told to Still Come In

I was hired as a supervisor at a popular chicken fast food chain. We are understaffed and there’s usually a lot of call outs every day. My psychiatrist could only fit me in for an emergency consultation for when my shift starts (10-8) I asked around, asked if someone could come in two hours early and I will do the rest of the shift, got it approved, made it clear it was an emergency. On my way home, after getting it approved and worked out, I got a call saying “it wasn’t a valid excuse” and I must come in at 10 the next day. Long story short, I’m not coming in at all. If they won’t let me prioritize my mental health then I feel as if I should quite. Is this the right call?
