can you be in the army if you previously self harmed?

Tori C.

Regimental Medical Officer

Hello, Unfortunately we are unable to answer individual medical enquiries on this forum. The entry requirements for the military in regards to past and present mental health issues is reviewed regularly. I would advise starting an application on our website, once our medical team have been able to review your medical records we will be able to provide you with an answer to your enquiry. You can start an application here https://apply.army.mod.uk/how-to-join
