Gracie - Your illness would not disqualify you for jury duty, but if you really want out, a doctor's note might help excuse you. There is no guarantee of this, however. It's pretty much within the judge's discretion.
If you decide to go, I don't think you need to own up to a mental disability. However, and particularly if the juries being drawn are for criminal cases, there may be more specific questions asked by the attornies. Mental health issues tend to crop up with a fair degree of frequency in criminal cases.
