A job interview is always a two ways process.

As Frank said, just leave the gap in the CV. If they ask you, just say that you had a health issue that is resolved now. If they ask for more details, you are free to explain more details or not.

At the end, what will happen is that some companies will not want to hire you. But, if you think this well, this is probably quite good news for you because those companies are not the ones you would like to work for, so you would be left with the ones that have a more humane work culture.

There are lots of companies trying to hire developers and it is really hard to filter out the bad ones. In your case, you almost don't need to do anything to filter them out. ;)
