Explain your grades in the addendum. If you don't feel comfortable, don't say anything about mental health. Say you were ill. If you took the test under disability circumstances then I believe schools are already aware of your disability.
Yes an addendum would be very beneficial if you describe what happen to you. Law schools understand that sometimes life can get in the way. Also, a lot of law schools (if not all) like to see an upward or stead trend in the A's and some B's.
An addendum will benefit you if it explains any increase/decrease in your GPA. Also, be very concise. Some schools have certain requirements of how long it can actually be so make sure you look that up first or call them to find out.

@medianplus30 Yours sounds like a perfect case for writing an addendum. It's not hardship that makes a sob story, but a self-pitying tone. As long as you describe your circumstances factually, it won't be whiny. I think you should write it.
