This is a very difficult question. After my break down, I did disclose that I had a medical condition when I felt ready to go back to work. I know for a fact this is the reason that I wasn't hired. It wasn't on the application, but on the follow up paperwork.
After my interview I was asked my size etc because the job required a specific type of sterile clothing that they provided. I met with the union stuart to fill out their paperwork and I got a letter the following week saying that they decided to go with a different candidate.
So I guess my advice would be to keep this to yourself until it presents a problem after you're hired. I don't think I was ready to go back to work when I did, but with this economy we do what we have to, some of us don't have the luxury of waiting. I did find working part-time more manageable stress wise. Good Luck!
