My immediate family knows most things about my history, but then again, we've all been in therapy by now so no surprises. We share a strong family history of depression and other MH issues. A few of my close friends know of my chronic struggles with depression. Some of these friends have others close to them who have struggled with depression, roommates, significant others. Depression is so prevalant.

I absolutely do not tell anyone else unless I have an extremely good reason. Usually this is only if they, or someone close to them, has experienced similar problems. Not everyone needs to know about MH illness, and many people do not want to. There are enough who do, though, so I don't share anything with the rest. I pick my audience, carefully.
