It has nothing to do with being ashamed of it or not or being open or not. I would strongly advise anyone NOT to tell anyone of their mental condition no matter what it is. First of all it's nobodies business! Second of all it can come back to bite you because people like to talk and pretty soon you may become the local crazy person. Why give anyone information they can use to hurt you? I never could understand why some people feel they need to be so honest and open to other people? Specially NOT at work! I tell no one any thing about myself except my doctor. And even then I am careful.
