Working with an employer once diagnosed with depression

Is this the question? If we, as an employee, have anxiety , depression or other issues...do we share that personal information with our employer and our colleagues?

@georgette12 That's how I understand what @Laj4934 was asking,and what @lisalucier referenced.
I was diagnosed with depression et al after I had employers, and was self employed. I do think that depression was affecting me long before the diagnosis, and my last boss would have terminated me immediately if I had said I was depressed. He would probably, before firing me, have put his hands on my head and prayed the demon of depression be cast out of me. I also am treated for PTSD, and he was a significant contributor to it.
Being diagnosed with depression as a self employed person, the person I had the most trouble with was myself. That might sound like an attempt at humor. Unfortunately, it was the truth.
