French term or phrase: lors de ce nouvel arrêt de travail
I'm translating a psychiatric report and I'd like a bit of help with this sentence:

"monsieur X a développé de l’anxiété et secondairement, une symptomatologie dépressive lors de ce nouvel arrêt de travail".

I believe the translation is "Mr. X has developed anxiety secondary to depression symptoms during his latest sick leave."

However, i find the sentence a bit strange, as usually patients get better during sick leave, not worse? Indeed, the patient is still on sick leave and the report says the patient has been feeling better recently, although he still has anxiety when he thinks about returning to work.

Here's some context:

"L’arrêt de travail est survenu le 20 mars 2018 après que monsieur X ait consulté son médecin. Il vivait de l’anxiété d’anticipation, il présentait des attaques de panique, il avait des idéations suicidaires, et la durée de son sommeil était diminuée.
"Concernant sa condition actuelle, monsieur X mentionne vivre de l’anxiété au regard du retour au travail. La tristesse est diminuée, elle était soulagée par les pleurs. Il considère qu’il ne serait pas en mesure de tolérer la pression. Il est capable de compléter ses AVQ et ses AVD depuis trois semaines. Il est en mesure de se concentrer : il a recommencé à faire des lectures portant sur les domaines demandés par son employeur. [...]"
