While we would generally encourage people to be honest, we appreciate that the choice to disclose a mental health diagnosis with partners, loved ones or employers involve a lot of careful consideration. Often loved ones can feel a sense of relief, when they can understand your difficulties better.

Employers in the UK have become more receptive to the mental health needs of their employees in recent years, and you may be pleasantly surprised to discover the number of adjustments that they are prepared to make to get the best out of you.

Following a diagnosis, you are welcome to discuss such decisions with me, along with any other concerns you might have.
