Disclosing ADHD and Other Mental Health Issues to Your Firm

Previously, Lauren Ascher was on the podcast to discuss accommodations for lawyers with ADHD.

But a real challenge is deciding whether or not you will disclose your ADHD, anxiety, or depression to HR at your workplace. It can feel really daunting to think about disclosing something like this at work.
