I'm in the don't-ask-don't-tell camp. I have had NOTHING but bad luck with disclosing my illness to a supervisor and I don't recommend it to anyone. The only reason I disclosed at all was because I was severely manic and couldn't hide it anymore.....and I've been on a downhill course ever since as far as jobs are concerned.
