There is always a risk that people at work will look down on you or assume you are not capable of responsibility or not good enough for promotion and all that kind of thing if they think you are 'mentally unstable'. Give yourself the very best chance of success, be the best you can be, and do your best, and don't tell anyone at work anything personal about yourself, if possible.
This is my opinion, and some may disagree with me. I have this opinion because for 20 years I was an employer, so I have a fairly good idea of how many bosses think. They either see you as great potential and so they help you succeed and achieve, or they see you as a fragile thing to protect and keep away from stress and pressure. Which box do you want your bosess to put you in? How would you rather people at work see you?
