Thanks for all the input and follow-up to the original discussion. It got me thinking too. Everyone has to use their own judgment when deciding who or even if they should tell about their mental condition. In my case, being open about it has worked for me for the most part, but
I certainly wouldn't expect everyone to do the same or have the same positive reaction that I have had. I occasionally get a few perplexed people, but as with anything you do in life, people will agree with you, disagree with you, understand or not have compassion for mental illness. For me, telling people that there was more to my problems than simply being moody gave me the freedom to start the path toward recovery from my condition. Also, my psychiatrist is unconventional. He told me about his own experiences with AD's even though that is not medical protocol, but I felt so much more "normal" after he shared it with me. Speaking for myself alone, I am proud to have faults, and not ashamed to say I need a little bit of help. I'm only human and so are all of us here, and perhaps we should not be so ashamed of our conditions.
