No, you do not have disclose medical history or conditions to your boss. Some places required doctor's notes for sick leaves, but not always the condition. To cover yourself though, contact the EAP services provided by your workplace, they will talk you through steps you need to take if your condition is affecting your work.

Personally I think you are just nervous. I was a teller in a bank and when somebody asked for something out of the norm (like wanting Traveler's Cheques or a official check) I would start trembling and forget everything I should do. I was scared all the time about who would come to my window. After a few months I got over it and it became routine. As you become more confident your anxiety will go away. I don't think you should run to the doctor and get medicine. Hang in there, things really will get better. Don't be afraid to ask for help. That's how everyone learns a new job.

No, you don't have to tell your boss that you have depression. That's up to you. Your work doesn't have a right to ask about your medical history either.

You don't legally have to tell them anything concerning your health. If it interferes with your day to day living and you are close with your boss, you may want to let them know but only if you completely and whole heartedly trust them.
Just know that corporate America is a game of numbers and if you are seen as a potential liability you are expendable.

It depends on your medical condition. If it's a condition that could possibly harm others then I would say yes, but if not then no. But if your condition will require you to be absent from work more than the average person than I would say yes. Otherwise you seem unreliable and they will have a justifiable reason to terminate your employment.

If your condition is under control and does not affect your ability to complete your duties then no. If there comes a time when it does then yes, it would be best for all if you discussed it with your supervisor so they understand what is happening and do not over react.

It would be the ethical thing to do if it might potentially affect either your work or your availability.
