Don't do it if you need money. It isn't that they are going to associate the gap in your resume with your condition (Currently Employed at Comparable Job is the gold star of resumes, nothing else matters nearly as much), its that they will DQ you immediately.

You work against this at your NGO, you know how real this is. If you google an applicant and you get mental health stuff its in the same category as "sued last boss" or "felony conviction". Dealbreaker.
