Supporting those with mental health in the workplace is on the government agenda at the moment - TV and radio adverts challenging the stigma that exists and government organisations funded to support employees in the workplace who may have a long term health problem. Employees do not have to disclose a diagnosis to their employer to get legal support, but just have to evidence that they have a long term health problem and what special support they may need.

I agree that sharing a diagnosis should not be necessary - once that information is out there, you cannot guarantee how it will be used or where it will end up. And also people may jump to the wrong conclusions.
