[quote=Anonymous]I’m going to be a devil’s advocate for a minute and say that they’re helping destigmatize mental health issues by talking about them up front instead of hiding them out of shame. Also, we wouldn’t expect someone with an obvious physical disability, like using a wheelchair, to have to hide that in an interview, so why should people who have limitations due to mental health have to be deceptive. I do agree that it is not to their benefit to disclose these issues in a cover letter and that it’s unprofessional to do so. I think there is more gray area when bringing it up during an actual interview, but it is probably best left unsaid. [/quote]
