Reporting Bipolar to DVLA

I’m currently only a Section 3 but due to leave in about 3 weeks.

My diagnosis is Bipolar.

I know I need to inform DVLA re my driving and it is noted that my condition has affected my driving before. I’m still in the process of stabilising on meds and going through changes hence the current stay.

I’m just wondering whether I’m better off reporting myself right now whilst sectioned or whether I should report myself once I’m discharged and have had a couple of stable weeks?

I’m so worried they won’t allow me to drive for months and months.

If anyone has any experience to share at all, I would really appreciate it.

If I remember rightly I was told you were not allowed to drive with a certain amount of weeks/months of an episode of mania x
