I work in the medical field as well-disable individuals of all levels. I have never officially disclosed my illness to anyone. Some know theres definately something up with me because I've had some minor for the most part, emotional out bursts at work.

HR I'm sure knows because of my leaves and where the notes (Dr. name, hospital ) came from.

But I remember, years ago, my friend who was a nurse RN was talking about how someone at work was promoted to exec or management she said- this is a person who tried to KILL HERSELF years ago probably- 10. as if she had no right to achieve such a position. My reply was "don't you think people can change?" No answer.
