You should certainly mention it, but they can only consider conditions that you have been suffering from for three months and would reasonably be expected to still have issues from in nine months time.
Have a read of our PIP Claim guide for more information.

I believe the question is asked so that people suffering from severe mental health problems can automatically be granted more time to complete the form.
