Lie, unless you have a better reason not to. They don’t need to know so unless there’s an HR department that’s really great or the company is known for being accepting, save yourself the heartache. I’ve only disclosed twice and once I lucked out because the boss had a spouse with bipolar. They won’t fire you over it but I promise they won’t look at you the same either. Discrimination for jobs shouldn’t be an issue but it sure will be anyway for severe mental illness.

I don’t like lying either, but if you want the job it’s your best bet.
Thanks for this!
