People can be reeeelatively chill about depression, anxiety or ADHD, but the closer you get to what people think of as "crazy" the riskier it gets, even if completely managed - bipolar, schizophrenia etc. I think I would only disclose if I intended to get active in mental health advocacy within the company/industry, and not if I just wanted to do my job, or had ambitions above my current role... Because it will definitely make life harder. It sucks, but mental health discrimination is insidious and rife. 😞
