I myself would not use my whole name. Although millions of people in this country suffer from depression, there is still so much prejudice. Prehaps we should have "Bipolar Pride" parades.
I am going through something slightly similar, the agency I've worked for (two years now) has sent out paperwork to all employees to be completed by their doctors, including a list of all medications that the employee is taking and the doctor's assessment of the employee's physical and mental health. Well, I'm under psychiatric care and I take an anti-psychotic, but I don't think that's any of my employer's business and I refuse to disclose this information to them. There hasn't been a stand-off yet, but it's on the horizon.
Anyway, I think that such highly personal information is not for public consumption.
