Because I'm bipolar and know that hospitalization is always a possibility I disclosed to my work so I could file FMLA paperwork. It was a just in case so that if I had to take unpaid leave they couldn't fire me. I was extremely fortunate that they were and have continued to be very understanding. They even helped me sign up for short term disability when I was eligible so that if I had to go inpatient I might be able to still get paid. BUT I know many many people that disclosed at work and completely regretted it.
