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!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
