I am on treatment and my doctor said it could be seasonal its mild/moderate depression.

Answers:
I would put it on there since you are taking medication for it. It is a medical condition. Some people choose not to list it because they are afraid of stigma, a very realistic concern, but if you are taking meds, I think you just have to put it down. Straight depression or seasonal depression doesn't have so much stigma anymore anyhow, not like it used to be.Health Question & Answer
