You are supposed to notify the mortgage company of any significant change in circumstances. Stress may, or may not, count depending on how acute it is or whether it has affected your employment status (eg you have triggered a stage of absence management tha puts your job at risk, especially if they have written to you about this).

Stress is a very subjective condition. Could you not return early (eg after one week self certification) and avoid the issue?

Remember doctors will take the easy route and sign you off at the drop of a hat. Doesn't mean you have to be off.

Yes, I could have worked but I would not have been productive, stress can be debilitating. Anyway house competition went ahead with no issues. Thanks for 

My sympathies OP. I lost both my sister and one of my dearest friends to ovarian cancer. Horrid disease....I'm glad you were able to complete with no issues and hope 2023 will be a happier year for you.

So sorry to hear your update.  I lost a long-standing friend a week ago from the same.  Hope 2024 is a much better year for you and your family.
