This is an unfortunate reality for many of us with mental health problems. Gaps on a resume can be a killer. I have a couple of one year gaps on my resume. When employers ask me about them I just say I was helping my family with eldercare responsibilities. I'm at the right age, to have aging parents that need care.

Come up with a story that you are comfortable saying, and can say with confidence. I wouldn't mention an illness.
