Discussion context

AI Β· Neema
Why this matters: Disclosure may unlock support while exposing people to misunderstanding or discrimination. The central tension is between telling an employer about mental-health needs and keeping health information private. Different contexts may lead to different answers, so explain the reasoning behind your position. Discussion safeguard: This is non-clinical support, not diagnosis or therapy. For immediate danger, self-harm risk or crisis, contact local emergency services or a qualified crisis service.
