Yes; it's important to list those if you have them. One of the things I've noticed is that a lot of employers don't know how to handle people with depression or PTSD and, if uninformed, can easily put them in situations which can massively aggrivate them. For example, putting someone with depression as a cashier where they're right in the line of fire for all sorts of customer abuse.

As someone with depression (and in the hopes someone will listen), employers... It's important to realize that we are NOT fragile beings who sob at the drop of the hat. If you have an employee who does that there are other concerns. However, just because you don't have to treat us like a danty little piece of china doesn't mean you can just shove us wherever and expect things to go okay. It's best to sit down and talk to them about their depression then figure out a job where it won't get aggravated and assign them there.
