I take a "less is more approach" if someone asks: Were you depressed? I say: "Absolutely, I had just experienced a parents suicide" and I've done a lot of work on learning adult coping skills so that I won't repeat that sort of thing. Again this is all if they ask...

It's a weird cross section because once the door is open, someone can ask pretty much any question they may have been legally prohibited from asking in an interview because I disclosed it - I often feel it changes the dynamic of an interview in a very serious way.

I usually try to use it is an op. to ingratiate that person to my ability to cope with stress and perform under pressure.
