I worked in Mental Health and I disclosed as I thought I better be up front with my employer and I was sacked on "ill health" grounds. Basically my work wanted rid of me and cause I hadn't put a toe out of line, had went off sick when I needed to and was seeing doctors/psychiatrists etc they couldn't sack me on anythign else. So they said they couldn't "place" me anywhere else?? I was happy where I was and I was made a Key Worker so why make me a Key Worker if you are gonna sack me??? I am now wary about disclosing when I go for interviews/get a job..... what if I can not carry on in my field?
I personally would say no to disclosing but I have had that bad experience that haunts me every day. Maybe in America it is different?
