    I do also have social anxiety but I am working on it so that I won't freeze up as I usually do when someone I don't know talks to me or asks me questions.

    All medical conditions are reviewed on application to join. Although it may not ban you from joining there may be elements that you would need to be clear from such as being 5 or more years clear from medication etc but all of this will be picked up during medical scrutiny in the application process and a decision will be made if you are eligible to join or not.
