A member asked:

What to do if i have a brain problem, when should i tell people about it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Who should know?: Depending on nature of the "brain problem", either neurological or psychiatric, need to determine whether it would benefit you or others to learn about your challenges. Certainly your doctor needs information, but does your Boss or manager, or even some friends or family??
