Did you share you diagnosis with your employer?

Questions/Advice

I (m27) work at a company where I lead small team. Over the past months I started making more mistakes, because of lacking communication and forgetfulness. I noticed that some of the themes that came up were actually present my whole life.

After more and more complaints both at work and in my personal life, I started to see a psychiatrist. After some tests, we concluded that I have ADHD.

I will be starting with aderrall next week. I’m a bit nervous how I will respond. Now, do I tell my employer about the situation?

I am leaning towards NO, but curious to your experiences.

How did you tell it? Was there a positive or negative outcome?
