My situation is similar. In a small office, there is no HR department, and privacy is hard to come by even when they try.
There's nothing to be ashamed of in that listing of medications. A good number of people are on AD's. But I always figure when something is inevitable, it's best to just face it with as much grace as possible. The more matter of fact and calm you are, the less charge the information will have. In the end, people really just don't care all that much about psych meds these days. Even my bosses, who are of my parents' generation, have had personal experience with them. As I of course know, because not even bosses can keep anything private in a small office.
If you appear not to be ashamed or embarrassed, they'll likely accept it as calmly as you do.
