In a job application, you are asked if you ever had psychiatric care. You saw a shrink five years ago for depression. Do you mention it?

Discrimination for existing medical conditions can be illegal for most states and under EEOC and ADA.
Titles I and V of the Americans with Disabilities Act
The ADA prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in all employment practices. It is necessary to understand several important ADA definitions to know who is protected by the law and what constitutes illegal discrimination:
Individual with a Disability
An individual with a disability under the ADA is a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, has a record of such an impairment, or is regarded as having such an impairment. Major life activities are activities that an average person can perform with little or no difficulty such as walking, breathing, seeing, hearing, speaking, learning, and working.
Qualified Individual with a Disability
A qualified employee or applicant with a disability is someone who satisfies skill, experience, education, and other job-related requirements of the position held or desired, and who, with or without reasonable accommodation, can perform the essential functions of that position.
However, there are typically loopholes in the regulations for many positions relating to public safety, would you want a clinically depressed or psychotic police officer carrying a gun around?
This is a very incomplete answer but gives you some good places to look. Based upon the job type it may be reasonable and legal to ask this question.

Was she on the account? Unless you removed her then they could share information. Sign a balance sheet? What the heck are you talking about? No bank requires you to sign a balance sheet. The statement they send you isn't even a balance sheet. Even if they did make you sign a statement of your account you can't refuse to agree that your balance is correct unless it's not correct. Sounds like some drugs might help you out since there's just way too much parinoid information on here, and none of it even makes any sense.

I wouldn't mention it, I don't see what right they have to ask the question in the first place.

Yes, be honest. These days employers are more likely to find out if that information is true or not.

♥ No you are not required to answer that question and they are not allowed to ask it. Read the below article... it tells you what is acceptable to ask and what is not acceptable to ask.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! There are a million reasons why you shouldn't.
Nonetheless, this is confidential information and it's NONE of their business.

depends on what the job is that your applying for. if its a minimum wage parttime job after school forget it. if its anything that this would effect then yes.
