Get help if you need it. Having periods of depression on your medical record doesn’t make your life more difficult, unless maybe you’re trying to be a spy or an astronaut or something.

This is actually a problem with e.g. airline pilots. They'll hide conditions (especially mental health issues) that they know could trigger a suspension or re-evaluation of their ability to fly. Even if those conditions are entirely treatable and wouldn't actually affect their ability to fly during/after treatment.
So your statement is factually incorrect: in some common professions, your medical record can make your life significantly more difficult.
