"You never want [someone with mental illness] to tell people and feel ashamed or criticized or ostracized." When it comes to the workplace, she's unequivocal.

Or if you're at work still, and things are not going well, some people feel comfortable saying to their direct supervisor, 'I'm having some symptoms.' And I think if you don't, don't. You don't have to. You're not obliged...It's personal. It's confidential.' Openness is key. Talking is everything. But there are days I want to shout her words from the rooftops.
