contrary to what the `gaspoweredcat` says, and agreeing with others in this post. I don't have experience with depression personally, but know of other employers who have employees who struggle with depression. Some of these employees are the best in the company, and the employer understands that in order to serve the needs of these employees, this is something that needs to be taken care of. It's about understanding, and making sure the employer knows what to do to help you be the most productive at work. When you're going through a tough time, what can they do to help? If your employer doesn't understand, it is possible that they don't value your contributions. And you should want to be contributing. I'd take that approach. You are a contributing member to the team, an issue exists, you want to continue to contribute, how can you both work together to make sure it works. If your employer doesn't appreciate that, maybe you have the wrong employer.
