I dunno, ketamine treatment for depression isn't that weird.

Announcing your medications at a public work function is kind of weird though, regardless of what they are. Is that just me?
Why stigmatize what should be routine?

Mental health discussions, especially among men, should be less fraught. Like “I have a cold”

Yes but getting fired for it is grounds for a big juicy lawsuit. So if you've got a rainy day fund why not?
Yeah, that's just TMI.

I don't think anyone ever pressed for more details after a coworker said "I had some issues with my health".

People show empathy, and move on. No need to ask for details.

In day-to-day work life or a meet-and-greet, yeah. But this was an executives-only retreat where they were apparently encouraged to drink and made a big deal out of getting everyone to open up to each other.
seems to be ok to talk about if you're elon musk.
