Congratulations on your new job!
If I were in your shoes I would tend to be a bit guarded at first. After all, if no one knows you well, you don't want to be crashing into people's misconceptions about mental illness.
But yes, it might be a good idea to tell them you have a chronic health problem that isn't deteriorating but that does require regular treatment. And you might be asked to provide evidence to someone, to demonstrate that you aren't just bunking off on Thursday afternoons to meet your fancyman, or whatever. It should go without saying that any evidence you provide should be kept confidential.
