How to explain to interviewer I've been working a low-level job due to mental health problems?

In a similar situation OP, I’m sorry to say employers haven’t been compassionate or understanding when I’ve told the truth!!

Just tell them you decided to take a break from software development to think about your career. You came away from this experience with an even greater commitment to software development, and feel like this role is a really great fit for the next chapter in your career.

Think about why you are returning to software development and this role in particular, and you can include this in your answer.

So glad you are feeling better, it’s a shame society doesn’t value authenticity. Go get that job man, you deserve it after what you’ve been through.
