Am I required to release this type of information ? The hospital I've been hired at, is the same one I was admitted as a patient. :/

I recently got a job offer for an (new) nurse position at a hospital. I'm going through the employment process. I had tried to commit suicide 7+ years ago and was hospitalized for overdosing on Tylenol. Because of the Baker act, I was then admitted to a behavioral health facility for a day and after evaluation ,I was released. It was very dumb mistake on my part, for which I regret and it was one of the reasons why I chose to go into nursing because of the level of care I received. The hospital that I was admitted into, is the same one that has hired me. Am I obligated to release this confidential information? Will it hurt my status? I'm very embarrassed by this. I'm not sure if I will be penalized, if I don't wish to share this. Please help!
