Hi @Former-Member
I think this is such an important issue.
In my experience when I have disclosed I have depression, there was good intent, but not much in terms of open discussions of how they could help me with my work load.
However, I found when an incident happened (a family member passed away) my manager and collegues rallied around me and were fantastic.
I found this interesting - it was like they understood when an incident happened which they could relate to, or empathise with, they were fantastic.
