    Hi Libby,

    During the application process your medical records will be reviewed. There is a large spectrum of mental health problems, and some will not stop you from joining, but others will. If you feel your history is no longer a problem, but you get rejected during the initial application process, you will be given the opportunity to appeal the decision and have your case looked at in more detail.

    Best of luck.
