Opinion: The mental health stigma in the workplace

I presume ConfusedPartner is a qualified medical professional and so able to diagnose mental health conditions - something which can take months or years in even the most skilled hands. No? I can imagine CP's reaction when non-lawyers presume the obviousness of answers to legal questions and the rightness of their own unqualified opinions. I work for an organisation providing services to corporate law firms. Having had several episodes of depression, I was finally diagnosed with bipolar disorder a year into this job. My employers could not have been more understanding or supportive, but I am ruling out any job moves into a firm as such for fear of encountering the ConfusedPartners of this world.
