could having mental health problems in the past affect me from getting into the army

Tori C.

Regimental Medical Officer

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.
