I guess I am just So afraid of this kind of discrimination that I would never reveal too much by choice.
When I was volunteering at a certain hospital where I also have my PCM, they had full access to my records. It terrified me & I found myself downplaying the major depression diagnosis, using words like "situational" (my own word) to say it is resolved, so, no worries. If I hadn't been over the top sincere & happy they were going to let me go. I had to convince them I was "great!"
I guess they were afraid of what a depressed person will do? (go postal?) I dunno. But it felt bad.
I am capable of experiencing depression and still do good deeds and not burden anyone with my personal stuff. I have this skill down! SHEESH!
