You are under no obligation to tell someone you are only seeing casually about your mental health history. Once you two have put some time and some intimacy (not the pantsless kind, the REAL kind) into your burgeoning relationship, then you can tell him. Medical history is too personal to go into right off the bat. You don't have to lie, but you can... you know... be vague. you can say you are taking time off work for, like, a sabbatical. It's not a lie, but you are also protecting your privacy, which you have every right to do.
When and if you ever tell him, he should understand. If he gets all bent out of shape, he sucks- point blank.
My advice would be to let it happen naturally. If you need it to be a little more planned then maybe ask him how his day was first? I wouldn't advise avoiding it since then you'll be thinking about it a lot and that's no fun!
When things start to get very serious and you trust him, then you mention those things.
Barely knowing someone and discussing deep personal things isn't a suitable time.
What does your counselor have to say about this? That person knows much more about your situation than we do.
What type of mental illness do you have :0?

I would mention it pretty soon. It may be difficult, but try to see it from the other person's point of view.
