Pnd and medical record

I am becoming increasingly worried that I may be suffering from PND. My baby is 7.5 months (baby no2).

HV convinced me to make appointment with GP which I have done for this week but I don't want to go on any medication so I'm not sure I see the point in going to the GP and I'm worried that it will appear on my medical record and I'll have disclose it if I were to go for any new job in the future and that a mental health issue could hamper my chances of promotion or changing every jobs.
Does anyone know if it's something I would need to disclose to work? I've heard so many people say that once depression is on your record it sticks like mud.

I wouldn't have thought so!

That would mean one in four of us never get anywhere on the career ladder!

I've never had to disclose depression on a job app and medical records are private.

Maybe if you're a pilot or something like that?
