公开或不公开

我最近在收音机上的客人斯坦博士WGTK碎片弹,我被问及双极或抑郁披露。如果你不需要安排在工作时间,我建议不要披露。当接近监事尝试使用的声明“我工作最好当……”I believe its best not to give other people information they do not need. As a contractor in the television business, I work different locations all the time with different crews of people. I may work with these people for two or three days and never to be seen again. I have one crew I regularly work with that does know my condition, but I have worked with them 4 or 5 times a years and have been teaming up for 20 years. These people deserve to know about my illness because they know and watch over me if a situation calls for it (thankfully it hasn't). One of the issues of disclosure is keeping your illness as secret may be more stressful than telling the truth and being able to ask for help when and if needed. Many people think they are familiar with bipolar disorder these days due to the attention it has received in the media. Discrimination and stigma associated with mental illness stem from the mind of the general public linking mental illness and violence. There is a general belief that persons with mental illness, including bipolar disorder are dangerous. This stigma leads many to avoid living, socializing or working with or employing people with mental illness. This link is often promoted by the entertainment and news media. According to Mental Health America, reports that characters in prime time television are portrayed as having a mental illness are depicted as the most dangerous of all demographics group. Most news and media accounts portray people with mental illness as dangerous. News stories focus on the negative characteristics related to the people with mental illness. Notably absent are positive stories that highlight recovery of people with mental illness. Most citizens believe persons with mental illness, bipolar and depression included, are dangerous. The vast majority of Americans believe that persons with mental illness pose a threat for violence towards others and themselves. Someone once stated that "Both individually and as social being, we have have an irrepressible desire to judge before we understand." Many people "know" about bipolar these days due to the antagonistic attention it has received in the media. Are you willing to stand up to anyone and let them know not everyone with bipolar disorder is dangerous. Violent behavior is nearly the same percentage of bipolar sufferers as is "normal" people. There may be an elephant in the workplace, many people would prefer to ignore the problem or keep it a secret. You are not alone, you are not the only person with bipolar disorder. Bipolar and depression are chronic illnesses. It is something you have, it is not something you are. As in may illnesses, you can have it and still feel well but for how long? There may come a time when counseling, understanding and a trusted adviser at work may be the best thing for continuing at the workplace. It is a tough spot to disclose or not. Only you can determine if, to who and when disclosure occurs.
