Thanks in advance!
I was working with an employment center and ran into the same problem. I wouldn't mention the BP, unless you feel it may impact employment otherwise leave it out. You may have a hard time finding a job. As for your sick leave, that's exactly what it was. You had an illness you've recovered and are ready to get back into the work force.

Don't forget about the stigma. Good luck on the job hunt
