I remember telling nobody, anyone who asked where I'd been, I just said that I’d had some family issues that I needed to deal with (was living in halls at Uni at the time)… was ashamed that I’d been taken to hospital, angry.
On my return, I was a bit withdrawn but I did a ‘back to business’ and got on with my studies.
Never really dealt with my depression directly, but I learnt and focussed on not allowing it to leak out.. to not be seen.
On topic, perhaps speak to your doctor Secret… you discharged yourself prematurely (you previously mentioned that they wanted to check your meds) due to an exam, might be worth mentioning this to someone if you’re worried.
