If it's standard, then make sure you have one. It won't show anything that you aren't dealing with anyway, and just might afford you more and better treatment.

One of the issues with not telling the truth is it will come back to bite you...some where down the line. This is for everyone. While you never really want everyone to know what issues you have had in life, if you hide them from employers, for example, and then because of an incident you become worse and they find out you had a history you failed to tell them about, not only can you lose your job, but you might also lose any benefits and health coverage for it too. Other employers will be less likely to hire someone in that situation also.
But if you do tell the truth, and they hire you anyway, and you do have some issues, they can't fire you because they knew ahead of time.
It's a tough one, but at your age I'd say be upfront and that will help you get the care you need, and maybe work through things before you need to be worrying about working or such.
