How to explain 3-4 year gap in employment owing to psychotic illness?

Have schizoaffective disorder and it got really bad these past few years to the point where i was hospitalized for nearly a year.

Used to work professionally in a field i won’t disclose but it was competitive so I’m generally pretty competent at things. Don’t think I’ll stay in that field owing to stress and low pay (oxymoron with competitive i know)

Illness is now well-treated, ive got professionals following me, strong support network and I’ve been stable for a long time now. Going to do some prep for job hunting and then start looking.

Only thing is, I have a huge gap in my history and I don’t think that explaining my illness is going to help lol. What do I do?
