Disclosing is a hard question. I would not disclose unless you have a need for a reasonable accommodation under the ADA. To answer your question, I have a current lawsuit pending against a former employer because I had disclosed my disability (I have a service dog and had to disclose to request a reasonable accommodation to have him at work), and I was discriminated against and fired from my position because of my disability. It was clear, blatant, and I have hard evidence showing it was the case.
I would not disclose unless you need a reasonable accommodation under the ADA to complete your job. I hate to say that, but it's just true, especially with mental health disabilities, that employers blatantly and flagrantly discriminate.
