    The whole point of treatment for these things is that you recover! If they are in the past and dealt with then clearly that will not affect your capabilities in any way.

    If this is still current you don't have to tell them but if you want you can tick the box on application forms saying you have a disability and you will at least get an interview, again they can't ask you for the details or deny you the job on health grounds.

    The most worrying effect maybe from any medications you are taking that may affect your concentration. If you were affected you can't take a job as a driver for example. Not even forklifts.

    Use your common sense when applying for things it may even be a benefit for some things.

    Good luck

    generally no, unless the job requires making judgments using your mental faculties like nursing

    No. They don't even have to know you're on meds.
