Hi D Minor,
I have a nine month gap on my resume. My explanation is *a personal situation that I do not expect to occur again.* If pressed I say that I was taking care of a family member.
I'm afraid if I say anything close to mental illness that they won't want to talk to me further. I spent those nine months in a major depression, it's not like I was on vacation, but I don't think most people would get it.
Good luck at the career fair.
