I wouldn't feel the need to hide an illness from family or friends.
I may try to hide one from the professional world to avoid unnecessary judgement.

I do hide the PTSD from my family, but not my partner. I also would hide any STD from family, but not a partner.

why would someone hide a mental illness or any of the others listed.... people you associate with are going to find out anyways so own up to who you are... just my thoughts

This.

Granted, I don't suffer any of it so ........

If anything, perhaps the type 2 diabetes because I know that can be avoided/controlled by behaviour and I would be ashamed that I lived in an unhealthy way. Similarly with the STDs.

No....Type 2 diabetes cannot ALWAYS be avoided or controlled through lifestyle or behavior. I have known MANY adults who are HWP and have a relatively healthy diet and still develop it. And what about women who develop gestational diabetes that doesn't go away after the child is born?

Which is why I did not say........always.

Reading comprehension truly is a wonderful thing.
