When my husband went back to college, we told the dean of his department and all of his professors know. For me...this was the only way to go. The faculty was so great...the dean encouraged ME (me!) to call him if I ever had an questions or problems. This made his relapse so much easier for everyone involved. I am still thankful we set things up that way.

That being said. I wouldn't bring it up. Don't offer information. You're not keeping a secret, you're simply not telling everything you know. As long as your doing your job its none of their business. I hate to say it, but there is such a stigma around any mental illness that I don't share my hubby's condition often if at all.

Maybe someday that will change.
