In the US applications can not contain questions that are illegal to ask. There is no need to disclose this to a company. doing so may actually hurt your chances for an interview or hiring decision. Face a lot of interviewers adn those who make hiring decisions don't want to deal with drama/conflict/something that makes them uncomfortable. If you mention your condition could make them assume you will miss a lot of work, you can't work extra hours, you will be at the doctor's office every week, frequent call offs. Every person has unconscious bias, and it will rear its head if you start talking about medical conditions in your application. I know a lot of places have those extra forms for you to fill out asking some gender, ethnic questions - not sure what all they ask any more. Those are separate from an application, and they don't contain a spot for your name. They are collected so the company can provide statsical info to the government.

No need, unless you need specific accommodations for your role. I'm type 2, diagnosed earlier this year, told my boss cos the meds were having an awful affect on me and he thought I was losing my mind at one point. But it's not causing any hassle.
