I feel really conflicted.

Diagnosis allowed me to access treatment through the public healthcare system, so I am grateful.

However the cost is I have to declare my condition in future jobs and potentially not be hired due to stigma.

Mental illness isn't a protected from discrimination class in my country.

I could lie and not declare, but then I would have to switch to private mental healthcare which is extremely costly.

If I lied and HR checked my background and requested for my public healthcare medical information and found out, I can be fired.
