I've always been extremely open at work about my mental health / addiction issues, and I've never had any problems. My colleagues all know I go to treatment one afternoon a week and have to come in late one morning a month so I can see a psych. Of course it helps to have supportive management, which I've had.

But I think having coworkers know can have some benefit as they don't wonder why I'm getting flex time and we have pretty strict workplace harrassment laws up here so nobody would dare give me any grief.
