That would be called vacation time vs sick time in my org, but there are definitely differences in when/how they're used.
Sick time is like, "I don't feel good today, I'm just not working today."
Vacation time is like, "I'm feeling pretty good today, I'd like to take a feel-good day. But I better schedule schedule it a couple weeks out, check with my manager, make sure there are no deadlines coming up, make sure someone else can cover for me," and so on.
Right, and the point is that there should be no stigma against just taking the day off like one would a sick day.

I'm sure many other jobs aren't like this, but where I work we don't have to give any reason at all to use our sick leave. Since one of the official definitions of "sick" in the Cambridge Dictionary is "very good, excellent," you wouldn't even be lying.
Sick 🤙

I do this all the time. Everyone with pto has this ability but they are anxious and paranoid.

Shorten the work week, give better pay per hour for when you're there, allow remote working wherever it makes sense, lots of other things to make an employee feel better about their work and also give them the opportunity to live life outside the job. Amazingly it's been found that companies that do things like that not only have better production results, they retain people longer. I know, who would have guessed?
But if the workers are happy, is it really Capitalism?
If the bottom line is bigger than last quarter, yes. It's getting companies to try things that they see as riskier that's hard, when cutting costs is always easier and gets some results faster than any progressive ideas.
I did once. I called my boss and just said I was in too good a mood to come in and I'll see you tomorrow. It worked.
You had a boss worthy of trust. If only they all were.
Get yourself a boss that respects Mental Health days!
Why do you want everyone to be unemployed?

In Australia, we could call that Carer’s Leave; Mental health days are a valid use case (at least at my work).
Edit: Mind you, we are also a country that needed to implement a Public Holiday ahead of the AFL Grand Final (similar to SuperBowl) because a significant portion of the population were taking ‘sick days’! 🤣
No but really.
If the average employee takes 4 sick days and you don’t sick seems like you should get a “well” day.
