FAANG or not I never and would never disclose any serious mental illness. It can go way too fast from compassion to "he failed at this because he's mentally ill and we should never have hired a lunatic like him in the first place". Don't talk about it, do your best to manage it outside of work, ask for remote work and a flexible schedule(because you're human not because you're ill). If you need a few days off ask your doctor for a leave of absence and only say it's for medical reasons without ever mentioning the specifics. But honestly I think it's kinda crazy to want to work at a FAANG when you have any kind of illness, it's already awfully hard/stressful for healthy/normal people, it seems like torture to manage an illness while working there.
