How is telling them about it going to make them want you as a student? There’s a good reason why you’ve heard that writing about these topics isn’t a great idea.

Better to have your school GC mention your hospitalization in the letter of rec., if it’s mentioned at all. If you missed a lot of time at school, your GC should probably mention that you were ill and have been successfully treated. It’s not the college’s business why you were in the hospital.
