You cant handle it like me so f@%$ off ??? Nice
Drama Queen.
If your job made you so ill you were incapacitated for 3 months; will going back make you better, or worse?
The job won't have changed; it's unlikely your capacity to take stress will have changed.
...is simply in the wrong job!
If you are in a job that makes you ill; it's the wrong job. How can it not be?
What will the likely outcome be?

Yeah. Friend of mine works in a stressful job - team of 4 and she's the only one in as the rest are off with stress. So, she has to pick up their work. Can't re-employ as the others haven't left. Probably couldn't anyway as its crap pay for a highly qualified job. The boss went off with stress, then announced her retirement. Hideous situation.
How she holds up I have no idea.
In my experience, working with someone on long term sick can actually be a much more positive experience to the company and the employee than just getting rid.
Help people through their problems, build them back up and give them the support they need.

Incapacitated? stress isnt a broken leg as we have already discussed.
If you have time to resolve the issues then there is no reason to assume they become stressed again. You are applying a stigma to that person.
I have recently suffered with stress, thankfully not to the point i needed to take leave as i was able to adress it with the company. It was a build up of aspects of the job, not just 'my job'. Thankfully my company is supportive and realises it is able to do some things to help mitigate some of the problem areas. They do this because they see value in me as an employee and that i am capable of doing what they need me to do very well, as long as they support me with other things. Other employees might (do) handle those thing better than me but that does not mean i am a hindrance and need to change job roles as you seem to think.
It can be lawful to fire someone for being ill.
Clickbait headline.
Answer to the OP then is you can't generalise. Every single person has to be treated individually as the reasons for stress are all different.
So there's no simple answer to his question.
