Be honest, but use discretion in what you discuss. If your disability will directly impact job performance, say so. Otherwise, focus on experience and results.

Disability hiring quotas are most effective for those with mobility impairments.

In the U.S., medical information disclosed to insurers has strong privacy protection under HIPAA. The HR department must keep information about a treated disability confidential, even if you haven't discussed it with coworkers.

Your improved condition after diagnosis and treatment is a powerful affirmation of your character and determination, qualities that would benefit a new team.
