Army application with history of depression
I am on the process of applying for the army however I have a history of depression on my medical records.
I received medication for the first time in 2019 after a relationship breakdown from a long term relationship. We then hit the Covid period, and so I stayed on the medication for a while/doctor didn’t recommend I come off them. The reality was I didn’t take them very much but still had the prescriptions. The dose was low.
I then started taking medication again at the end of 2022 after another relationship breakdown. The end of the relationship was unpleasant and I took medication again for 3-months while receiving therapy. For the last year I have been symptom free and living a much better and healthier life. I have changed the things that meant I was not happy. The things that made me upset were linked to childhood issues which have now been resolved.
I have submitted my medical records to the military but am worried that this means my application to join the military will be unsuccessful.
Do you have any advice?

The only advice is to wait and see what happens. No-one on here or in the AFCO can say whether you'll be successful or not, or even asked to wait and reapply in future.
