Based upon my experience, and as others have mentioned, it all boils down to the person you are reporting to. I am at a stage in my career that I don't give a f'ck (never really gave a f'ck even when I was starting my career) - and I am being more open about my mental-health challenges because there is a needless stigma associated with mental-health issues and also ignorance (many consider it to be a 'weakness' - and I have had many talk/mention mental-health in such terms).

My advice is to find the right people to work with. Life is too short to work with d'cks and those who don't have empathy to others - and there are plenty of such a'holes in all industries - but more so in FAANG, nee MMAGAN (Meta & Microsoft) where it is not only the toxic bro-culture, but also always trying to find some 'weakness' in others.
