Do I disclose anxiety on pre deployment check?

I've got a job working in a school. Pre covid I was suffering from anxiety and put on medication. I managed to wean myself off them over lockdown by exercising and getting a dog! I now think it was brought on by losing 3 family members in a short space of time added with work stress and my age as recently turned 40 so I believe my hormones also came into play. My anxiety has definitely eased and I feel more in control, not depressed and I've never had a day off sick during it. I feel embarrassed and like they will see me as a liability. I know when I disclosed it for my life insurance it effected the policy as they saw me as a risk even though it was anxiety not depression and I was getting treatment.

You do not have to disclose any medical conditions at all unless you want to.

I wouldn't unless you think you will need any reasonable adjustments made.
