I went 5 years undiagnosed and in a fast cycle in my commercial real estate office. Because we were in cubs, the office had to ride the thing with me. I'm surprised I was not fired sooner. At anyrate, I wish I was medicated and diagnosed so that I could have shared things with my boss. I think it's important to say 20 or so percent of people have depression and 1 in 17 or so have mood disorder and that you are in those percentages, and wanted to be open about it so that if you seem down it may not have anything to do with work. This would have horrified me before, but I lost everything over the disorder and drinking and the honest rout would have been so much better.
